Are you working from notes from the last time we were through this? It would appear so. Yes, some hot-head Confederates were provoked into firing. Of course, it is widely conjectured that there may have been some aggressive actions by the "resupply" ship that history has not recorded. In any case, I think it would be possible to document that Jefferson Davis was elsewhere that day.
So are you suggesting that the firing was done without the approval of Jefferson Davis? He appointed Beauregard the commanding officer in Charleston on March 1. His war department issued the order to Beauregard on April 10 to demand the surrender of Sumter with the orders to open fire if a date for surrender was not provided. If there was a hot-head in this it was Davis himself. He gave the order. He bears the responsibility.
That's a false statemeet and you know it's false.
Maybe you got hot-headed when you typed it.
