Fort Sumter was an important event. One that if not taken may have changed a few things regarding the relationship between the North and the South. Here is why:
A quote from President Lincoln, " They attacked Sumter. It fell and thus did more service than it otherwise would".
Let me explain further.
Lincoln did not want a war against the South. He assured the South that he had no intention of trying to end slavery where it existed. He did not even think the executive branch had the authority to do so. What he wanted though was a united nation and as President he was sworn to protect the nation and its "property". By starting hostilities, the South furnished to Northerners any skepticism of using Federal forces to solve this situation. Now, by attacking a United States fort, the South "forced" the United States to end a "rebellion".
