Q: In this task, you are given a public comment from online platforms. You are expected to classify the comment into two classes: insult and non-insult. Insult is any lanugage or act that is disrespectful or scornfully abusive.
Comment: That war should have never been fought. The South had a perfect right to leave peacefully. You probably don't know but there was a Confederate Peace Delegation in Washington before Ft. Sumter. They were to discuss the purchase by the South of federal property ( Including Sumter) located in the South, the payment by the Southern States of their portion of the federal debt and the setting up of diplomatic relation between the USA and CSA.
Lincoln refused to meet with them. So did the Sec of State.
Instead he sent two war ships and a transport with 500 soldiers toward Charleston.
Gen Beauregard didn't think he could defend the city against both the fort and warships and that the best course of action was to take the fort before the ships entered the harbour.
The ships never attempted to enter the harbour. Maj Anderson surrendered the fort and he and his men were transported under white flag to the Union fleet which returned to New York. No one was killed or even badly injured.
A:
Non-insult
