You can argue that his election was the direct cause of secession but those idiots in South Carolina fired the first shot. There was a chance at a non-violent standoff and an eventual peaceful resolution until Sumter. In other words, I blame it on Spurrier.

If I'm not mistaken, 7 states peacefully seceded under Buchanan. When Lincoln was elected, he began to raise the Union military in force. 4 more states seceded as a direct result of what they saw as tyranny. This led to an escalation on hostilities, and any hope of a peaceful resolution was obliterated.

But hey, this is a movie board and not a history board.
