Here Lincoln made an offer, the South's reaction, pull out, shoot first and hope that no one shoots back.

First of all, according to the dates, the South had already pulled out. Secondly, the South shot first justifiably. Thirdly, why would the South hope that no one shoots back? Of course they shoot back. Or don't they in your world? PC world?

The South wanted a war, and these letters prove that Lincoln would have done anything even legalize slavery to prevent war.

somebody mumble something about Lincoln that they can't prove?
