This is pretty well supported in the record. Davis wanted the border states to join the rebellion. He wanted a shooting incident to incite them, and that is pretty much what happened. Davis and the other traitors wanted to act while the secession fever was still red hot. That is why they fired on Fort Sumter when they knew full well that they could starve out the fort within the -week-.
Too, Davis had Kentucky invaded when that state wanted to remain neutral-- making a clear mockery of any pretence of 'states rights'.

Between the day Davis was elected and the action at Charleston, he made several key speeches & writings constantly demonstrating a desire for peace. "All we want is to be left alone". He even sent peace envoys to Washington only to have the warmongering tyrant Lincoln reject them.
You lie about Ft Sumter being starved out in a few days. The Confederates fired on the fort only after the warmongering tyrant sent supplies & reenforcements to hold the fort blockading the port at Charleston in a deliberate act of war against the soverinty of South Carolina.
You lie about Kentucky. The legislature there narrowly voted against secession only after the saber rattling tyrant Lincoln made numerous varied threats against the lives & property of the elected officials who dared stand up to his crimes against the constitution. The elected governor immediately resigned & led Kentucky's volunteer troops into battle against America's Stalin. The flag of the Orphan Brigade is one of America's most precious shrines in the everlasting war against tyranny.
