- for being freakin’ untrue. Lincoln didn’t send the relief ships to Sumpter to provoke the South.

He did, the idea was to provoke the South into firing the first shot

The ploy worked, the South opened fire on the forts before the “humanitarian” aid could arrive.

They maintained they were just claiming their propery rights.
