Before the US Civil War began, US President Lincoln made it clear he had no intentions to begin any sort of military actions against the states that had seceded after his election. He did vow, however, to protect US property such as forts and US territories. When the impatient Confederates decided that the Federal occupation of Fort Sumter was a threat and a force against the South, they decided to assault Sumter and forced its surrender. This action brought about the war between the states, the US Civil War.
