Didn't do much looking, so not sure if true or not:

The wars that the Democratic Party has started includes:

• the War of 1812
• the Mexican-American War
• the Spanish-American War
• World War I
• World War II
• the Korean War
• the Vietnam War

The Republican Party has started a total of 5 wars. 

The wars that the Republican Party has started includes:

• American Civil War
• the Gulf War
• the War in Afghanistan
• the Iraq War
• the War on Terror

Toss out a few of the older wars, looks like it's pretty even.

Being a guy who has substantial interest in the Civil War and also a hobbyist who enjoys hunting for and finding Civil War artifacts i can’t say I’ve ever heard anyone blame one political party or the other for starting the conflict. What makes you say the Republicans started it?

 

Oh yeah. Many states have laws prohibiting the use of metal detectors or the removal of artifacts from state-owned parks or historical sites.
