Lincoln effectively declared war by calling for 75,000 volunteers, and the South retaliated with four more states seceding.
The attack and capture of Fort Sumter effectively was the spark that began the US Civil War. Northerners who did not want a war with the South, now believed that this attack on the Federal fort in the Charleston Harbor was a justification for armed conflict with the Confederacy.
