Your services were no longer needed, those forts were now on Sovereign soil and waterways. Once they re-assumed their delegated authority, your government was the tenant refusing to leave.
The forts, arsenals, etc. were the propert of the U.S. and South Carolina had no legal claim to them.
Theft, as I said. Nothing more and nothing less.
Sumter was abandoned by federal authorities, it was after South Carolina left...you suddenly discovered it's usefulness = Harassment.

Oooo my, they offered in good faith to pay for these forts. They shouldn't have - you forget the federal government is but a mere agent. We know, you prefer the people to be the agents, but it ain't so. So, what right does Connecticut have to property in the South? Wouldn't that leave South Carolina grounds to demand refunds for tariff's paid? What about all that Southern blood that soaked the soil - while - Your friends in New England crawled back into Big England's nurturing arms.
We leave, and y'all conspire. Just to add insult to injury.. when we finally had our fill of your shady behavior, and leave - You use the sword to rewrite the history.
