Now i've made some efforts on my own to verify the claims my friend made. Lincoln did indeed send a letter to the Confederates, and that letter did indeed provoke them into attacking the fort, but when I tried to verify that Lincoln had sent a letter to the Commander of Ft. Sumter, I had a more difficult time verifying that.

That's because Lincoln himself did not send such a letter.

As it turns out, it was his Secretary of War, Edwin Stanton who sent that letter. I used to have a link to it, but now I will have to look it up again.
