“Fort Sumter attack was NOT a good idea.”

The Fort Sumter incident was “blamed” as the cause for war, but in fact Lincoln was planning to militarily “bring back” the seceded states regardless. Lincoln would have initiated military action even if Sumter had not been bombarded. Lincoln wanted the Southern revenues above all else.
