By bombarding it to pieces?

Stop the nonsense already. No one died during the demonstration against Fort Sumter. A couple of Yankees did get killed during a flag lowering ceremony because their Yankee made cannon exploded. But the "attack" on Fort Sumter was just an affair of honor. South Carolina fired shots into the walls while the occupants held out until an appropriate time had passed. Then they surrendered and were allowed to leave peacefully and go home.

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.
