I did not revise any true history. There have been many times forts were fired at and no war commenced. Native tribes fired at forts. The confederacy had become a separate nation. Same kind of nation as both Canada and Mexico are. They wanted freedom.History does not agree with your revisions. From the encyclopedia britannica, the start of the war was 4.12.1861, the day the Confederacy declared war on the United States, opening fire on a U.S. fort. Lincoln invaded Virginia 5 days later.
The North had already handed of so many forts to the states they were in that is no excuse for the North to mass troops months after the firing on Sumter as an excuse to wage war on VA. Va did not have Sumter in the state of VA.
