The North didn’t fire the first shot. The South did steal military bases that didn’t rightfully belong to it.

True, but Lincoln did everything he could to promote that incident, then bragged about having do so. Though he quickly shut up when four more states seceded as a result of it. BTW, Fort Sumter was mainly a tariff enforcement post.

Do you honestly believe the nonsense you spout? It was an army fort, not a customs house.
