      I think he was making a joke. He was smiling as he said it.

        If it was a joke, then I certainly don't get it.

          I didn't say it was a good joke.

            It's a Southern thing. I always say "Northern" not "Yankee" Aggression.

              To quote Augustine, it may have been a war of Yankee aggression, but it was a just war.

                        So he didn't have a right to reinforce a military based within the juristiction of the United states?

                            I was going to ask the same question. In fairness, however (and I say this as a descendant of Yankee soldiers and sailors and a Northern sympathizer), in that era there was still a debate going on about what it meant to be a sovereign state. The Civil War settled that question, at least as far as the meaning of "Union" goes.

                            "God made the angels to show His splendour - as He made animals for innocence and plants for their simplicity. But men and women He made to serve Him wittily, in the tangle of their minds."
