Perhaps we can agree then that the South was declaring *its* own

South's at least as much as on the North's. Would you call our War of
Independence "the War of British Aggression?" I certainly wouldn't.
Takes two.
No, don't think so. The military commander of Ft. Sumter had been ordered by the legitimate government of South Carolina which had already seceded to leave the Ft., which they could have done peacefully at any time. They had many opportunities to do so and refused a final ultimatum. The state opened fire and bombarded the fort. Funny thing is, when a building within the fort caught fire, both sides ceased hostilities to make sure nobody was hurt. At that point the Federal commander thought it better to surrender so nobody would get hurt. Nobody was held prisoner. All the commander had to do was relinquish command and leave. All South Carolina did was stick up for it's right  to independence and never forced it's will on anybody else. (check the first paragraph of the declaration of Independence).
