Feels weird knowing all of this history while living in Kings Mountain NC but at the same time traveling to all of these places be it for vacation or work!

I still find it HILARIOUS that the South was angry about Lincoln being elected. The Southern Democratic Party ran their own candidate in the election and split the Democratic vote with the Northern Democratic candidate
. Seriously, like WTF did you think was going to happen, duh.

Also, Lost Cause twits droning about the "War of Northern Aggression" when the CSA fired the first shots. /eyeroll

Less than a 100 men, stood against 4000! What bravery! the kind of quality that both sides respects.

I just went to fort Sumter last week. Because I was on vacation. It was very cool to see. Can’t believe it’s still standing.
