(Submitter Note: Last two remarks from them; feels like they are purposefully ignoring my remarks about him not being president for much of the crisis beforehand)
Sumter was fired on because Lincoln had sent an invasion fleet to South Carolina, an act of war.
You (And everyone else) still haven't answered why Lincoln didn't talk peace, or if secession was illegal in 1860. All excuses submitted are invalid, otherwise they would appear in every history book, and we wouldn't be having this argument.
