This may explain why he didn't go there: "This paper will not address the morality of the Union's invasion of the Confederacy, except indirectly and only to the extent that certain moral principles were undoubtedly reflected in the framework of laws governing the Union in 1861."

You and I both know that the events at Fort Sumter have been so politically twisted as to totally blind todays historians as to the real facts of the "first shot" of the war and who really wanted that war.
