Without compensation I might add.

And why would the South give up an economic asset without compensation?

Fort Sumter wasn't theirs to give up. It was Federal property. If California decided to seccede today, should the USAF abandon Vandenberg? If Florida secceded, should NASA walk away from Cape Canaveral? If your state secceded and decided to union with mexico, should *you* abandon your home?

Sumter didn't belong to them in the first place.
