Re: Powhatan, not Pocahontas
David, how does this seemingly plausible explanation of yours, describing the events leading up to Sumter, jibe with our discovery a few years ago on this board of the post-Sumter correspondence between Lincoln and Fox that confirms the existence of a plan, contrived by them, or known to them - to bait the South into firing the first shot? If I remember it correctly, that correspondence seems to contradict Lincoln keeping the Powhatan's real mission from Fox, unless Lincoln was just giving Fox cover and plausible deniability?
