See how quick you are to focus on "what you've been told"the war was about? Surprising given your take on the covid shot.The union forced the first shots that were fired. Read some real history. Not what the Lincoln lovers want you to know.You can conduct a preemptive strike if you see the evidence that you are about to be invaded.Attempting to resupply a fort was/is an act of war. That's really was the point. The purpose of the Powhatan expedition was to resupply Sumter and in in doing so maintain the federal presence in and domination of Charleston harbor.Yeah, the South fired the first shot, but Davis was under pressure not to appear powerless in the face of a federal naval force. Lincoln put Davis in the dilemma of firing or appearing not to be the leader of a real nation.</blockquote>
