From Davis's point of view, to permit the strengthening of Sumter, even if done in a peaceable manner, was unacceptable.

And in Lincoln's point of view, to permit the slaveholding states to secede from the Union over their aristocracy's of fear of Abolition, was unacceptable.

Lincoln was right, Davis was wrong.

People like you over-romanticize the antebellum South. It was a place where individual liberties were repressed. If even a white person dared to speak about abolition, he would be summarily lynched. So much for 1st Amendment protections - or the 5th Amendment.

You can go on and on about your states rights, but you ignore individual liberty. The confederacy was NOT a bunch of Libertarians - by ANY means. It was a rigid aristocracy, pure and simple.
