It seems quite clear that the future states of the CS were preping for war w/ the US well prior to Ft Sumter being fired upon. While It appears robbing and abusing US troops is acceptable to Battalion it wasn't to a lot of US citizens in 1860. There was quite a bit of objection to it, a lot of people from place like Minneosota, Iowa, Wisconsin and points east took umbrage at it and when Ft Sumter was fired upon that was the last straw. It's obvious that Davis wanted War, he got it.
Claiming that the US just suddenly attacked the CS out of the blue is purposefully deceptive and more than a little dishonest. And it has no basis in fact.
The slaveocracy was gearing for Secession and war well prior to Lincoln even being selected as a candidate, it was happening when Fremont made his run four years earlier. Buchannan was able to win that election and arguably usher in one of the most corrupt and incompetent administrations in US history.
