You got your history backwards there, Lincoln had no constitutional authority to declare the states federal property. Lincoln committed insurrection by not allowing peaceful succession, which is exactly why he suspended habeas corpus.
Sure, unless you forget that it was Lincoln again that violated the terms by intentionally putting warships in charlestons waters under the guise of “supplying Sumter”. Again he went out of his way to push the south until they got sick of it.

What terms specifically? He was not recognizing the secession because he claimed it was illegal. So of course he's going to continue supplying Sumter. The interesting thing is that he proclaimed that he was going to continue enforcing all federal laws, though he never did because he couldn't.

Secession. I confuse the words all the time.
You mean to say that there is a ban on seceding?
Regardless of what you think of Lincoln, can you at least admit that it was a very stupid mistake to attack Ft. Sumter?
It was a mistake. And Lincoln was smart enough to set the trap up, and the South bit.

The South: Don't do this or else.
Lincoln: *Does that.*
The South: I guess it's time for that 'or else' part!
Dipshits: Hurr, the South started it!!!!!

That was the result of the American Civil War, yes. States can no longer decide to leave the union.
