Then, Ft. Sumter happened.
Ft. Sumter was entirely manipulated to give the Feds an "excuse" to gain support for an invasion of the Southern states.
Which I might add..... IS THE VERY frickING DEFINITION OF "TREASON" ACCORDING TO THE U.S. CONSTITUTION.

Kinda like FDR forcing Japan's hand with the oil embargo as an excuse to enter WWII.

The main explanation is slavery, especially Southern anger at the attempts by Northern antislavery political forces to block the expansion of slavery into the western territories. Southern slave owners held that such a restriction on slavery would violate the principle of states' rights.

Uhhmmmmm no. Firing upon a Union outpost is a declaration of war by the Confederacy. The south quit cause it couldn't get it's way in congress etc... So we threw a fit, attacked a union outpost and then the Union said frick you, outlasted the south, and burned a shite ton of it to the ground. Don't proclaim war if you aren't ready to do what it takes to win it.
