Lincoln was a master at politics he knew that the fort would be fired upon he had carried out his orders as he was told.
He knew Europe would not get involved in the war if he could come up with a moral issues and hey presto slavery was it.
Davis should have said we will get rid of slavery then send millions of them up north and I guarantee Lincoln would have been forced out of office.

Davis should have said we will get rid of slavery then send millions of them up north and I guarantee Lincoln would have been forced out of office.
I guarantee you that if Davis had then he would have been forced from office long before Lincoln was.
