Maj. Robert Anderson (1805-1871) strikes me as a remote figure. His brief appearance at the earliest part of the war, the 1861 bombardment of Fort Sumter, is almost a cameo. I came to better know him thanks to a newspaper report covering his return to Fort Sumter on April 14, 1865-four years after he and his garrison left the battered fort.

Traitors to whom? The united States, perhaps, to South Carolina, they were patriots.

I'm from South Carolina and I don't sign on to that.

@Spooky Skelly I am from North Carolina. During the war, the further west you went in thus state the more pro Union it got, especially along the Tennessee border, eastern Tennessee was very pro Union. In the North, you had the Copperheads who either supported the South's right to secession or at least opposed Lincoln. People back then had different views on secession (the reason there was a war in the first place).

@@FuzzyWuzzy75 the reason there was a war was over state’s rights. States rights to do many things, like secede or to allow slavery.

@FuzzyWuzzy75 Год назад

@Eddie Moran Yep. Granted, I don't think the preservation of chattle slavery is or was the best concept to base the state's rights argument around. But the idea of people having the right to govern themselves closer to home is a good concept. Yet local and state governments can become as bad as federal government if one is not careful. This is why you need a true system of checks and balances between the three.

@@FuzzyWuzzy75 the right to own slaves was one of the first gaurenteed in southern state’s constitutions. It most definitely was about keeping people in chains.
