Yes Sir, the south sent a few Peace delegations to Washington.

Considering that the delegation was there to present an ultimatum, what kind of reception did you expect?

As the south would not invade the north the north would not have had a war without themselves being the initiator's of war.

And yet it was the South who initiated the war by firing on Sumter. I guess Davis was willing to give peace a chance only until it actually appeared that peace would win out.

A little practice fire on your own soil is no cause for another country to invade you! 8>)HA, ha They fired on more than one ship before that, yet no cause for war.
