Yes. Lincoln used the bombardment of a fort, a bombing that killed only one: a horse; as justification to start a blockade and raise up an invasionary army.

The only justice was that Lincoln died with his war.

Ah, so the South Carolingians weren't trying to actually kill people, fellow Americans, when they shelled an legally occupied Federal fort? And they weren't already blockading the same said fort?
