I don't make a point of it.
Impossible. We both know Girls on Discord are a myth.
Confederates fired first, secession started months before Lincoln took office, and there was no declaration of war as the Confederacy was not recognized legally by the Union or literally anyone else.
Sorry I didn't get your pings, I block you when I'm not talking to you for the reason that you ping so much.

Ooooof
The escalation of war was done by both sides. The Confederacy had seized territory claimed before the actual conflict at Sumpter.
But everyone knew war was coming.
The US civil war was politically caused by slavery, but most southern soldiers didn’t care about it
It was just seen as the natural order of things
Just like moth Northerners didn't care.
Exactly
Like I said earlier, it didn't even become an issue until 1863.
Ahahahahahaha
Ahahahahahaha
Lincoln said if he could preserve the Union with slavery he would
Lincoln didn't want to jeopardize support from vital border states like Maryland which had slaves.
It had been an issue for a long time standing
Both you have no idea what you are talking about
Like I said **politically** it was the main cause but most Union and Confederate troops didn’t care
Just regurgitating shit you read on /pol/
Only a few mention slavery
Nobody is suggesting that it wasnt an issue, just that it wasn't for the average person and wasn't made a political issue until 1863.
I’m taking more issue with Zexy
It definitely was an issue for the political elite of the South however.
Yes
Because she keeps pulling this date out of her ass
Ignoring that slavery had been a force of tension in congress for a long time
My point is that the citizenry didn’t care much, the elites did especially in the south
I have clarified twice that it's the date of the Emancipation Proclamation.
You are still pulling it out of your ass
The Emancipation Proclamation wasn’t the end of slavery
Because it makes no sense
Yeah, it was a political statement.
You act as if the Missouri compromise never happened
It was merely a political and strategic move
It really didn't mean anything materially.
Slavery was a source of tension for much before 1863
Otter you're free to screech in the background offering nothing of value or substance. Just note I'm mainly talking to Fish.
The Emancipation Proclamation only freed slaves in the 9 remaining confederate stayes
