No they didn't. They were at peace and were attacked by the Lincoln administration. Its in the history books. Bombarding a fort into submission, firing on merchant ships, and trying to starve a garrison into surrender are not peaceful acts. Davis kept trying until he finally got his war. Didn't work out quite like he had planned, did it?
You lost the argument.
Oh I haven't even started yet.

Didn't work out quite like he had planned, did it? Invading the territory of another is not a peaceful act. Lincoln wanted the war and started it deliberately without the consent of Congress. Oh I haven't even started yet. All you can do is dig the hole deeper for yourself.
