Also, the actual war started as a direct result of Lincoln refusing to abandon Union forts littered throughout the South.  The troops at Fort Sumter were foreign forces on our soil.

 

I agree with everything you have said, but that line made me LOL. unless you were born sometime in the 1860's, it's hard to make that statement ;)
