South Carolina sent their own delegation to President Buchanan offering to negotiate
Yes Sir, the south sent a few Peace delegations to Washington. The most they got was a basket with Champaign in it, accompanied by an insult. As the south would not invade the north the north would not have had a war without themselves being the initiator's of war.

And yet it was the South who initiated the war by firing on Sumter. I guess Davis was willing to give peace a chance only until it actually appeared that peace would win out.
