You are no different from the "southern cohorts" you complain against. No different at all.
Lincoln resupplied Ft. Sumter because he was looking for a fight. Beauregard was happy to oblige.
I don't think it is an accident that you agreed to half my post and not the other half.
I believe you are correct — both sides were looking for a fight (a quick one) that would define the country.
The point of contention throughout this entire thread is the South’s apparent inability to “let it go.”
If he really wanted that then he went about it in a most unusual manner. Telling the South exactly what his intentions were, allowing them the choice to accept status quo or start a war. Had he wanted war I think he would have been more obvious about it. Move the forces in without prior warning. Intend to reinforce regardless instead of peacefully resupply.
