When Abraham Lincoln took office he knew that he would have to deal with the extremely difficult situation regarding succession. It was well known before he became US President that Fort Sumter would be a test of wills. Lincoln's position was that if simply gave up Fort Sumter to "extremists" it would be a disservice to the nation and nurture even further the ideas of rebellion in the South. It should be noted here that the conflict in the Charleston Harbor was indeed a conflict. War was not declared upon that act. In fact there are at least 3 important opinions about that issue.
