This day in History


On this day in history, April 12, 1861 the American Civil War began, or as some would say the War for Southern Independence. Or maybe even, the War against Northern Aggression.

" If the Southern States hold no right of secession, then the secession of the thirteen colonies from Great Britain is invalid, and the revolutionary war to secure independence unlawful. In such case, we all remain as colonies, and are subject to the British Crown. The Secession of the Colonies, and the Secession of the thirteen States, can not be one good and the other evil, they are both one or the other. Similar conditions existed in both cases and both felt their liberties threatened."
--Thomas Guinn
