What the Confederacy thought and wanted is irrelevant, the FACT is that they attacked a US military position which the US had had no legal obligation to abandon.


Bingo.

"But....but...but....the South didn't want war. We were just 'skirmishing' with armed 'intruders.' Never mind that they were there the whole time, didn't fire the first shot, nor were under any obligation to abandon their station."

A US instillation in a foreign country. If you want to be technical about it.


The flag represents a pride and value of the past, meanings are different to others. Sometimes a vocal minority is more powerful than a majority. I think that people not in the state or situations opinions intentionally only do things to inflame and do not understand what the issue truly is and refuse to see both sides.
