Tone? I don't think that I typed in any fashion other than the one I normally use. Would an overabundance of smilies and emoticons make you feel warm, fuzzy and loved? If so, just let me know.
You can't separate the causes from the effect. The war itself, seen in the proper context, was a gigantic protest over states' rights, the Lincoln Presidency, economic disparity between regions and industrialism versus agrariansim (ok, that one's a bit of a stretch).
War is politics by other means. The Chicago Police Riot was a political reaction to a political protest.
