And since Lincoln had no reason to believe there was any peaceful intent on the part of the Davis regime then he really had no choice but to use armed ships to resupply Sumter.

Because sending 8 ships to be sunk in Charleston Harbor was a great idea.

What would have been the point of getting all those ships destroyed and all those men killed?

Explain this to us in a way that makes any sense.

In the pantheon of stupid interpretations, CVA’s is surpassed only by yours. Only you could raise ineptitude to a fine skill!

Given your preconceived notions nobody could explain it to you in a way that would change your thinking.
