A few Nits. (Aside to Box)

With public sentiment pressing for action, South Carolina sent commissioners to Washington to negotiate the transfer of the forts to the state, and requested immediate control of Fort Sumter. Like Slemmer, Anderson considered his situation increasingly precarious, indeed untenable if South Carolina occupied Sumter. After nightfall, on the evening of December 26, Anderson moved his small force from Moultrie to the more defensible Sumter.
Despite South Carolina's insistence that Anderson's action was a hostile act and must be repudiated, President Buchanan refused to order Anderson to return. South Carolina then proceeded to occupy federal property in Charleston, including the military posts surrounding Sumter. By January 1, only Sumter remained a Union outpost in the midst of secessionist South Carolina.

so negotiations were refused and hostile acts taken by the Union. Sounds rather clear cut, the North Started this shit.
thanx,
bill

Second, the Maine was more about Hearst than the President. [link\|http://www.smplanet.com/imperialism/remember.html\|See here for example] Third, in Viet Nam and Korea, whatever position you hold, we were not the first to attack. This notion of "pre-emptive" war is strictly a Neocon construction. Aside: Hey box, who fired the first shot? bcnu, Mikem I don't do third world languages. So no, I don't do Java.
