Principles and politics figure into considering who of the principal characters of the time bear the most responsibility in bringing the war to pass. Pick up to three men most culpable, either for their actions or what they represented. i couldn't include some other worthy characters, so here is the top ten.
Some I couldn't include (10 is the max) are:
Salmon P Chase- Lincoln's secreary of treasury, Radical Republican;
Robert Toombs- Davis's secretary of state, staunch Southern rights advocate;
Major Robert Anderson- Federal commandant of Ft Sumter, who refused to surrender;
Francis Pickens- South Carolina governor, leader of secession;
Charles Sumner- Radical Massachusetts senator.
