Disingenuous. Treaties are negotiated by the executive and ratified by Congress. You're just buzzing about to be an annoyance, but since you're at least around, maybe you could give us some firsthand insight - what interest does a Kansan hold in a fort built on a manmade rockpile in Charleston harbor?

They knew the Constitution. Their ancestors had written it.

Lincoln should have read it himself before he sent those sailors from New York and that civilian Fox to start a war in Charleston.
