Sumter did not belong to South Carolina and it was an act of war when they seized it.
Sumter was annexed. Politely asked the federal government to leave. They reinforced.
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
Really. We can’t disolve political bands ever and reclaim our sovereign property ever.
