The second category doesn’t fit either. The South seceded peacefully

No it didn't.

Did the Union fire on itself at Fort Sumter?

Was Edmund Ruffin a deep cover Union plant who carried out a false flag operation?

Ft Sumter was attacked ONLY after every means of peaceful negotiation was exhausted. Peace Commissioners were rebuffed by Lincoln, who attempted to re-supply the Fort. No Sovereign nation can allow control of their major port by a foreign power.
