Understanding Abe Lincoln's First Shot Strategy: Inciting Confederates to Fire First at Fort Sumter

3.5/5 ( ratings)

World history and American history reveal that creating a contrived incident is frequently used to justify initiating military aggression. It happens all the time. A strategy of this sort is especially effective in urging gullible men to leave their homes and families, and march off and sail off to war, even when there is obvious evidence that no security threat exists to those men, those homes and those families. War is a serious business. Many who go off to war will be killed, often leaving their families destitute. Furthermore the perceived enemy might be capable of a counteroffensive, resulting in destruction of life and property in the aggressor's homeland.

In North America, four years of a Republican-led war , aimed at conquering Democrat-led seceded states, resulted in the death of 360,000 Federals and 260,000 Confederates.

Yes, war is a serious business! Want to better understand how this one got started? Want to understand Abe Lincoln's "First Shot" strategy incident? Understand how it was planned and how it was carried out?

In this booklet of 50 pages you will live the history from the inauguration of Presidents Davis and Lincoln to the first battle deaths in Baltimore, Maryland.
