ORIGINAL: FirmhandKY It was indeed the war of Northern Aggression. [8D] Perhaps the war of Southern Secession, is better? Nope, sorry. Northern Aggression. If the North had honored the spirit of the union of sovereign states at the time, then it follows that there no longer existed "Federal" installations on South Carolina ground. They no longer had jurisdiction. Therefore, SC was simply taking back land that belonged to them, but held by a faithless foreign power through force of arms. The first aggression occurred when the Union forces occupied Ft Sumter. It was done without the request or direction of Washington, but Washington seized upon the illegal occupation and attempted to reinforce it. The occupation itself was casus belli for the South, but the government and military forces of SC attempted a peaceful resolution many times. It was nothing more than the intransigence and belligerence of the North which caused the war. Therefore ... War of Northern Aggression. quote:

Again, proving my point. [8D] Firm
