[Bubba Ho-Tep]

In the scope of one post you go from "I always read that the South started the war...fired the first shots yada yada" to verifying my statement that Lincoln provoked that Fort Sumter incident even when everyone around him thought it was foolish.

And you've gone from saying that Lincoln attacked the south to admitting that he merely provoked them into shooting at US troops by trying to send them supplies.

Incidentially, Fort Sumter also served as a tariff collection point.

No it didn't. It wasn't even finished when Anderson moved his men there. It was a military installation, and the military has never collected the tariff. The tariff collection point for Charleston was the Customs House on shore. Where do you get this stuff?

So, when did Lincoln promise that he wouldn't resupply Sumter? I notice you're not addressing that question.
