Then how is it shameful that they fired first? Should they have waited for the subjugation to commence? Do US citizens need to be shot before they can exercise the second amendment?
You said the south did themselves a disservice by firing first. Is that not to say they acted shamefully? Perhaps I misread your intent, but you seem to think they were in the wrong for doing it.
In my opinion calling it a "trap" is stretching the lexicon to a breaking point. It's hardly a trap to point a loaded gun at someone to goad them into self defense.
