No...they entered the works..as civilians not soldiers. It is documented. The vessel transporting the soldiers was stopped by a Confederate patrol in a small boat. The occupants (Union soldiers) claimed to be civilian workers at the works.

They were allowed to proceed to the fort. The Union soldiers on the orders of slave owner Anderson...dressed as civilians to enter the fort.

Who ordered Anderson to do this?

Dare you challenge an authority such as Bubba? You realize he has spoken, therefore it was as it was spoken? Bubba doesn't need to support his words, but I expect now that you've said "It is documented.", you'll be demanded to provide at least THREE examples to prove your case, otherwise you're making it up. And now that you've posed a question, you'll have to answer a counter-question such as "Who do YOU think ordered Anderson to do this." Don't think about answering unless you have sworn testimony to support your case (unless it was under Taney, in which case it doesn't count).
