When did South Carolina declare secession from the United States of America? When was Abraham Lincoln's inauguration? Records would suggest that some states didn't even want to try and find a peaceful resolve to ending America's Original Sin.
What’s your point?
I don’t think it refutes my point in any way.
Setting aside the historically assumptive terminology and the attempt to institutionalize it (signified by the use of capitalization) of “america’s original sin”, which seems to gloss over the fact that slavery was historically and practically a universal condition up until that time in the almost all cultures, why does the fact that South Carolina took action prior to the inauguration of Lincoln lessen the point that they believed it was their right to secede from the voluntary union of the states?

Well. People say that Grant said that it was too beautiful to burn. But I'm not 100% sure he actually said it. But I appreciate the sentiment.
Most of the antebellum houses that he didn't burn have rotted away anyhow. Honestly the place could use a good fire bombing. Actually and metaphorically

The Portuguese saw how the Africans treated each other and wanted some of that.

One of the sticking points in the negotiations is that Russia wants the 15% of the regions it has annexed but hasn't actually captured.
The idea of Ukrainians packing up and abandoning those towns as some sort of peace deal is preposterous. Roughly equivalent to Ukraine keeping the portions of Russia that it currently holds.
And of course Russia's insistence that Ukraine turn its security over to a Russian/Chinese committee or some such nonsense.
The two sides are a long way apart.

Ruston has a really cool Vietnam Vet memorial statue in front of City Hall that has been there since 1991
Don't know if there's ever been Civil War memorials here.
I used to love to go to Vicksburg to look at the statues. We drove several people over to tour the Vicksburg National Military Park when I was at NLU. Was a great way to spend the day.

The South was doomed the moment Europe decided to stay out of it. There was no path to victory on the battlefield.

Just expressing my southern pride in a whimsical way. I think I saw somewhere Jubal Early was the author of that statement.
The yanks with their limitless resources were fortunate to be fighting men with bare bleeding feet that were nearly starved to death.

Crazy random stat or fact or whatever about the monuments at the Vicksburg military park.
If you commissioned those statues and monuments to be recreated today using the same materials (mostly Italian marble) the cost would be in excess of $1 billion. Some estimates close to $2 billion.
And Vicksburg wasn't a particularly large or bloody battle. If you did the same at Gettysburg it could top $10 billion.
This is assuming you used American crafstmen.
