most Civil War experts cite that the South fired the first shots on account of the North resupplying the fort. The north defended the fort against that attack and the war was on. none of which has anything to do with slavery, money, or secession.

I never said the South didn't fire the first shoots.. I said the war wouldn't of happened over slavery. If the south had stayed a part of the Union, there wouldn't of been a war just because of slavery..
IE.. The war wasn't over slavery but rather because the south's secession from the Union. Slavery was the excuse used to gain support by the north so they could claim the moral high ground over fighting former countrymen.
