Lincoln was preparing his troops ( link above )
Sir: — We have the honor to transmit to you a copy of the full powers from the Convention of the people of South Carolina, under which we are “authorized and empowered to treat with the Government of the United States for the delivery of the forts, magazines, light-houses, and other real estate with their appurtenances, within the limits of South Carolina, and also for an apportionment for the public debt and for a division of all the property held by the Government of the United States, of which South Carolina was recently a member, and generally to negotiate as to all other measures proper to be made and adopted in the existing relation of the parties, and for the continuance of peace and amity between this Commonwealth and the Government at Washington.”
Looks like your incorrect.
Considering that a month before the confederate congress had voted to raise an army of 100,000 men - five or six times the size of the U.S. army at the time - then it's clear that the aggressive acts happened in Montgomery and not Washington.
