Aber ja, alle, während dieser zwölf Tage, war der universelle Konsens, dass der erste Ort der Kriege in Washington wäre, in oder um Washington, vielleicht in Baltimore, richtig?

All Confederates from all levels of government, including the United States Supreme Court Justice, were urging Jefferson Davis to attack Washington. What 12 days do you refer to in the title?
