Ahhhhh, LH, it wasn't strictly a revoultion by Southerners. Lincoln certainluy pushed one button after after another. He could have prevented it but choze, much like Bush has in Iraq, to promote it...

And, Civil? As Bee-Dubya-Ell has reminded us, it wasn't. I live 20 miles from Antietum Battlefield where the bloodiest day of the war occured.... Once a year they light a candle for every man who died that day... Nothing civil about it....
