No one died during the demonstration against Fort Sumter

And you claim that was intentional? Or was it more a testament to the fort and a statement on the miserable quality of the rebel marksmanship?

But the "attack" on Fort Sumter was just an affair of honor.

And your 'affair of honor' started a war that killed hundreds of thousands and devastated the South. Hope it was worth it.

Both commanders were veterans of the Mexican American War and knew exactly what they were doing. Yes, it was intentional.
