What did Lincoln's call for volunteers to defend Fort Sumter lead directly to?
A response to the Confederate attack on Ft. Sumter April 12, 1861. The troops were sought to suppress what the North regarded as a rebellion and to counter an earlier Confederate call for 100,000 volunteers to enforce secession. Seven states had already seceeded from the Union prior to Lincoln's inauguration. Four more left after the President asked for the volunteers on April 14, 1861, in part because they thought it probable that Federal troops would enter their states. The question as to who started the war hinges on whether states which had voluntarily joined (and formed) the Union had a right to seceed from it, or not. The South said, "yes," the North said "no." If "yes," holding and resupplying Ft. Sumter, in the territory of the Confederate state of South Carolina, was the cause. If "no" it was the Confederate attack. The War settled the issue.
