I never said it was an invasion and I was being sarcastic about your claim that it was. You’re twisting my words. That makes you an even worse liar.
Now we are arriving at the truth.
As of 4/7/1861, News of Lincoln’s decision to send the naval task force to Sumter was published in the Northern newspapers. Charleston, South Carolina newspapers picked up the story that a US fleet was sailing for Charleston and Florida.
The “relief” squadron consisted of 10 ships, 1400 soldiers, and 285 cannon on the way south.
Therefore, Charleston authorities had hard evidence of impending action.
It is fact that they knew this. It is fact that Lincoln was ordering action.
It is fact that Charleston defended itself.
Your attempt to mitigate these hard facts via word games reveals your unwillingness to live in truth. Denying truth is irrational.
Perhaps you simply do not know what you do not know. Either way, you are unqualified for further discussion.
