“It was the newly elected Democrat, Jefferson Davis, who ordered shots fired at Charleston when none were necessary.”

But then you would have to argue that it was necessary for Lincoln to order a military fleet to Charleston; to ask Seward to secretly take $10,000 from his safe to pay Fox to rent civilian ships to sneak soldiers to Charleston; to paint out the name of his ships; to task a civilian with the responsibility of a decision that would bring war; to authorize those people to fight their way into a port.

In view of that, the Confederate Command chose self defense, which was not only necessary but courageous.

It was the newly elected appointed Democrat, Jefferson Davis, who ordered shots fired at Charleston when none were necessary.

Fixed it for you. Davis wasn't elected.
