Without War, the North was screwed. War was the only thing that could stop the South from implementing a future that benefitted it, and cut off the money to the North.

So is that why the South started the shooting down in Charleston… because they wanted peace?

Lincoln started the shooting in Charleston. Even Major Anderson admitted that. You should read his letters before he evacuated the fort. He clearly states Lincoln's plan would start the war, and he was horrified about it.
