Clearly the stand off between the Confederacy and President Lincoln's vow to protect federal property, did not necessitate the capture of Fort Sumter. Jefferson Davis knew that by doing so an armed conflict would be the result. With that said, the South would have continued to continue but the valuable harbor of Charleston would be denied to the Confederacy and worse, the Confederacy would have to sustain a lesser status.
