A question which has bedeviled me since I became interested in the Civil War as a lad was whether this war had to be fought.

The outgoing Buchanan administration, the incoming Republican administration, and the country at large had to deal with this issue. Could not have the 7 Deep South states formed their Confederacy and remained apart for the nonce and the Northern and upper tier slave States remained apart without war?

What thinkest all?
