Quote:Neoconfederates tend to hold Lincoln to a different standard than Jefferson Davis.  

 

If one is to expect Lincoln to NOT send supplies to Fort Sumter (after notifying the governor of what was happening, and that ONLY supplies were being sent and that so long as the attempt wasn't resisted that men nor arms nor ammunition would be thrown in), then one should also reasonably expect the confederacy to not resist said addition of provisions.

So I'm a "neoconfederate" for saying that Lincoln provoked the incident? was Lincoln really that naive not to expect that the Confederates would retaliate for the perceived incursion? who said anything about Jefferson Davis? did P.G.T. Beauregard not have a hand in that whole thing as well?

 

 

So everyone who opposes Lincon's policies is automatically labeled as a neoconfederate? WOW. Like really, wow. This is why history is so messed up these days. Nobody can have a civil discussion looking at both sides of a historical event; without being labeled something, or being accused of something that they're really not. The South and Jefferson Davis made a lot of boneheaded decisions too. 

 

 

I said it once and I'll say it again: no other single event has scarred this Country more than the Civil War. The fact that we're having this debate 150 years after the Surrender at Appomattox proves this fact.
