    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?

        Dictionary.com says this for the word “instigating”

        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
