a direct result of the battle of fort sumter was that

lincoln only asked northern states to supply troops.
confederate states refused to send troops to the us army.
six additional states seceded from the union.
lincoln called for volunteers for the us navy.

Explanation:

Analyze the immediate aftermath of Fort Sumter

Using the Battle of Fort Sumter and Outbreak of the Civil War knowledge points
Following the Confederate bombardment and surrender of Fort Sumter in April 1861, President Abraham Lincoln issued a proclamation calling for 75,000 militia volunteers from all remaining states in the Union to suppress the rebellion.

Evaluate the response of the slave states

Using the Upper South Secession knowledge point
Lincoln's call for troops forced the remaining slave states in the Upper South to choose sides. Rather than send troops to fight against fellow Southern states, several of these states refused the order and seceded.

Identify the correct historical outcome

Using the Upper South Secession knowledge point
Four additional states (Virginia, Arkansas, North Carolina, and Tennessee) seceded immediately following the call for troops, bringing the total to eleven Confederate states. The option stating "Confederate states refused to send troops to the US Army" directly reflects the refusal of these Southern states to supply troops to suppress the rebellion, leading to their secession.

• (A) Lincoln only asked Northern states to supply troops.
