    it wasn’t even one event.

    Well, that’s a refreshing take to see. But that doesn’t make the event mentioned here not problematic or not a further motivator of the war

      Did you miss the part where the first such event didn’t take place until after the invasion by the North?

        Nope. That’s like saying the Emancipation Proclamation couldn’t have motivated any sides in the Civil War because it happened halfway through.

          The comment I replied to said this:

          This was the instigating event behind the civil war.

          Dictionary.com says this for the word “instigating”

          Causing, initiating, responsible for

          Please explain how an event that occured after the invasion was the cause or initiator of the war.

          If you cannot, then admit you didn’t read the thread and just came in here to muddy the waters.

          If you are too proud to admit that, just ghost.

            I didn’t claim they were correct. If you look above, I made a weaker claim than they did.

            that doesn’t make the event mentioned here not problematic or not a further motivator of the war
