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.

Yes Sir, the south sent a few Peace delegations to Washington.

Considering that the delegation was there to present an ultimatum, what kind of reception did you expect?

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.

Right on. This is precisely why The War Between the States was NOT a Civil War.
