I know the first response to the question will be the south, firing on Fort Sumter. But here is my question...
If the Confederacy had in fact become an independent country (the reason for secession was to form that independent country, not to destroy the union) which many true historians believe (
I use the term true historian to separate these people from those who see only revisionist history), who started the war?
Lincoln when he attempted to reinforce Fort Sumter and also send troops into Florida to reinforce Fort Pickens? I mean, if the southern states were really in rebellion (what southern state first declared War on the Union, what southern state sent troops onto Federal soil) then why "re-inforce"?
I look for answers ...
