A recent thread got me thinking about the administration's response to Fort Sumter, specifically what else could have done differently after Fort Sumter that would have prevented the war. It's left me wondering besides simply turning the other cheek to the bombardment and besides calling up for volunteers as happened can anyone envision other scenarios to avert conflict? Note I'm not necessarily asking for scenarios you think would have been good, ideal, the best, or that you think should have happened instead. I'm just trying to gauge people more knowledgeable on the politics of the day to see what if any other options existed.
