You were given that very documentation many months ago by nolu chan. Do you need it again?

Doris, I have come to the conclusion that you are nothing but a BS artist.

I have never seen documentation containing orders from Lincoln, or anyone else in the Union chain of command, that ordered shots to be fired at Sumter.

Now it only took me a few minutes to find and post the orders issued by the Confederate Secretary of War (approved by Jeff Davis over the vehement objections of his Secretary of State,) that directed General Beauregard to open fire on Forth Sumter. I also posted the letter from President Lincoln to the Governor of South Carolina that assured him that only provisions necessary for the maintenance of the meager force at Sumter would be delivered.

Post something now that shows that the Union command issued some order to commence hostile military operations without provocation or be known from here on out as "All Talk, No Hat Doris."
