On 12 April 1861, Confederate militia lay siege and bombarded the Union military base of Fort Sumter in Charleston, South Carolina. This was in response to President Lincoln's attempt to re-supply the fort with provisions, prompting the South to attack before the supply ship arrived. Most historians tend to believe that Lincoln was forcing the issue in order to create an excuse to form an army by which the Union could use force to reign in the secessionist states. What if the Confederacy did not bite and allowed the fort to be re-supplied?
I’m looking for answer that would give a plausible series of events that would follow given the change in history provided. Details would be appreciated. Thanks in advance for your answers.
