History does not bear that fact. The troops in Ft. Sumpter did not sally forth or take any aggressive or offensive action. Thus, by definition, they can not be accused of their mere presence being an "invasion" since they were there before the war started.

While I do not accept the "slavery was evil and that's why the North had to conquer the South", I do prefer facts to the feel good but baseless claims.
