Colt ships arms to the Confederates.

I've never heard that but smokeless pressure is only about 50% higher than blackpowder.

It would depend on which kind of smokeless powder you are talking about.
There are significant differences in pressures generated by different powders.

No shifting blame. Just the realization that the winning side gets to control the narrative and write the history books and those books don't always tell the truth. All you're doing is clinging to the popular version, which most people do. Folks like yourself seem incapable of having any perspective but your own.

The undeniable facts are that the CSA obviously felt they had the right to secede. That after said secession, Fort Sumter was on South Carolina/CSA sovereign soil and occupied by what was then a foreign military. Unacceptable in any context. They were warned multiple times to vacate and they refused. So they did what they thought was necessary. IMHO, these are important distinctions when folks such as yourself throw around nonsense about who declared war on whom.

The war began when Lincoln's army invaded the South.

Of course, none of this would really be a big deal if people were not still repeating the same kind of vitriol to continue to demonize the South.

Nobody needs to demonize the south, So! Your history is right and anyone elses is wrong , per your statements. And your statements are of course not pure vitriol and should be blindly accepted by all . BUNK

ONLY? That's a big, 'only'!

The person I was responding to said 3x. Since we're talking about pistols and the person I was responding to referenced the Colt SAA specifically, the .45Colt runs about ~10-11,000psi with blackpowder and 14,000psi on smokeless. That's an increase of ~50%.

Okay, so you're just a troll. Got it.

Some think they arsond colts factory, but it wouldn't make sense.

What did they do that made sense to a reasonable person.
a bunch of fools bullied by the wealthy.
There is rederence to the methods used to conyrol the non wealthy populace, but not really easy to find.
They did fight well and hard for a doomed idea.
A tradjec war and all dead were Americans . I believe 160,000.
A tyradjic number given the population at the time.
In my family there were four dead.
My geandfather was named after the first union casualty a lieutenant from Ney York.

No need to dig him up I am sure there are plenty of arms sellers to go around.

Was that English?

~640,000 dead. I guess your figure is as accurate as the rest of your inflammatory blather.
