i see NO reason that he had to lie about WHAT supplies were delivered & WHEN they were delivered to the fort

Really? I can easily see why he'd lie in order to justify southern aggression against the fort. Of course, I can see why you'd lie, too.

as for 33+ hours of bombardment, the bombardment such as it was, occurred over that period but evidently was neither continuous or great in numbers of rounds fired.

Over 4000 rounds of artillery were fired, 2500 from Ft. Moultrie alone.

inasmuch as it's obvious that the "faculty guy" thought that the shelling was RIGHTEOUS, given lincoln' s COLD-BLOODED LIES about NOT trying to resupply the fort, i doubt that he saw any reason to try & justify the bombardment.

and you can PROVE your allegation????

i think NOT!

just out of curiosity, can you figure out that you've swallowed a bunch of DY apologist nonsense, hook/line/sinker????
