I've read most of the declarations of independence published by each of the southers states. Preserving slavery was mentioned as the prime cause of their secession. I don't recallany mention of being attacked.


You certainly don’t know history. The initial attack was in Philadelphia over the price of tea that was being shipped to San Francisco through the Panama Canal without paying the duty on the storage containers. If Alaska hadn’t joined in the war effort for the North, it may have lasted into the 1860’s.
