   No! His business associates did. The South fired the first shots to   
   cleanse Fort Sumter of the Norths influence.

   France did, also some others also. Without English Warships blockading   
   there would have been more French wt material at the Souths disposal.

   Baloney! England had plans to control America through financial   
   enterprise and heavy political Ambassador teams.

   Is that why, Lincoln mandated a draft that created massive violent   
   demonstrations against being sent off to fight a war against the rights   
   of secession by the Southern states Which by the way is still not   
   Constitutional. At this point in History, Texas is doing the job that   
   pour Federal Government was legally and morally bound to do. The top 2   
   reasons for secession was (1) Northern Business Moguls wanted control of   
   the Cotton and other rich Industries in the South. (2) to Neuter the   
   upcoming enforcement of the Virginia Compromise- Ending Slavery-. If   
   the South had just handed over the reins of business to the North,   
   Lincoln who was a Jackal with the heavy financial support of Northern   
   Business would not have issued the "Emancipation Proclamation". Northern   
   Business would have happily continued with cheap and profitable slavery.   
     slavery. Lincoln was a wealthy man by doing the bidding of the Rich.   
   My forbears fought for the North as they were professional Military and   
   had no choice. I suggest that the pack of Morons(you-uns) educate   
   yourselves before showing your ignorance here. By the way, no Southern   
   state voted for Lincoln. Thus he was not a representative of the   
   Southern establishment. Texas entere3d the Union with very explicit   
   rules of Secession should the rest of the country offend them. And yes,   
   it is legal. Even President Lyndon Baines Johnson attested to this on   
   several occasions. The old crook did have some good in him.
