Anyway, it stands that the US moved to a position that anticipated conflict in SC’s harbor and sent provisions understanding that it would also be seen as an act of war, while the South had peace negotiators up north.
What is the fact that the South had 'peace negotiators up north' evidence of, specifically? That they were earnestly interested in avoiding war? That their concern for the potential loss of life was so great that they were asking for concessions from a stronger party without giving anything in return?

I take it to speak for itself unless something tells me otherwise. The nature of the union should’ve been mutually beneficial. The fact that one party wanted to leave and the other was determined to make them stay tells you about who was getting what in return from the relationship. That’s just how relationships work, it’s praxeological.

Pardon me, crazy4lsu, I see that you’re a different person than the one who made the initial Sumter claims, you came in later, didn’t notice that on my phone.
Didn’t mean to presume you held the position of someone else. Your initial beef was with the peace commission, which I think we agree to take at face value.
