It's well documented Abe took over Sumter with aggression.
Abe himself said it was to collect taxes, but really it was to piss in some faces to create a war congress never would have approved. The biggest type of snake. Wanting the south to pay taxes to help pay for the lobbyists that got him elected.
The site for Sumter had been ceded by South Carolina in 1836, 24 years before Lincoln became President. It was a federal construction for the U.S. Army, which had several forts on that shore. How can Lincoln "take over" a fort that was federal to begin with? You are not making sense, or simply misunderstand the history of events.
Since the presence and plan for the Fort predated Lincoln, how was it then his plan to use it to collect taxes? When it hadn't even been completed at the outbreak of war?
