    Making an action knowing it will force your enemy to make a move against you under his moral/legal beliefs (and power as ******* PRESIDENT) is tantamount to shooting at them, but you don't have to waste gunpowder.

    And? That war ******* ended slavery. The Union would have fallen to pieces without the Confederacy, and they knew that. They were damning people to starvation and economic turmoil so they could keep their slaves, and even after it was made illegal, they made the most retarded ******* laws so they could keep their slaves without them being slaves under some retarded technicalities.

    Linoln opposed blacks civil rights as much as anyone in the south. And The south left legally, after secession the confederacy was under no obligation to look after the union citizens economically or financially.

    Lincoln may have opposed black civil rights, but understand this: No law strictly prohibits the US from recovering seceded land. Under Executive Privilege, Lincoln had every right to invade to protect the state of the Union.

    As my original point stands, I'm not saying the south had no part in the war, my point was blaming them for the entirety of the civil war is retarded, since it was initiated by someone else.

    I don't disagree with that, but I still don't think siding with the confederacy is just...just wrong. I'm honestly almost certainly letting my morality get in the way of the facts here, but still, it's the US circa 1861. Errybody was pretty goddamn stupid and intolerant. With history, you have to look at things relatively, and the North was on the right side of the slowly developing "civil rights" movement.

    Their secession was completely legal, Lincoln got pissy and illegally sent troops to SC, which were then fired upon in defense.

    The Confederate secession was in no way justifiable. They did it so they could keep their slaves. Yes, there were other reasons, but the central cause was their fear that Lincoln would further prohibitions on slavery and eventually abolish it. They were already furious about the previous Act which made all states acquired from Mexico automatically free states (I believe it was overturned, but they were still pissed)

    All in all, you can say "State's Rights" and other crap all you want: The South seceded because they wanted the right to keep their slaves.

    The reason for secession is irrelevant, in the US before 1869 the constitution had no laws governing the subject, according to the 10th amendment that means the states were given authority on the subject, a democratic vote was held and the secession went forward, at the time lincoln had no legal justification for interfering.

    Why does the legality of the invasion matter? Besides, from what I've learned, Lincoln already had loyal forces in the south during the secession, since, ya know, US forces are under the US's control, and they were fired upon first.

    Because we have laws in the US? You can't just circumvent them because you lost a power struggle. And they were asked to leave, Confederate forces fired upon enemy combatants refusing to leave a sovereign nation.

    Lincoln won the Presidency fair and square. Rather than accept that, the South decided "Nah, **** this, we're leaving the country." Then proceeded to make their own country, with blackjack and slaves.

    The base they were on was still controlled by the US federal government. It was US soil so long as US troops were stationed there. They could have blockaded food, they could have done literally anything else, but they shoot at them.

    Having a US base doesn't make it us soil unless the country lets you purchase it willingly, it's still the same today, we could be asked to leave any country today with a military base and we would have to.
