and you can PROVE your allegation????

I made no allegation. I merely stated that I can easily come up with a reason that a South Carolinian would lie about the status of the fort's food supply.

given lincoln' s COLD-BLOODED LIES about NOT trying to resupply the fort

When did he say he wouldn't try to resupply the fort? In the first inaugural he clearly says that he will attempt to hold the fort. In the letter he sent to Governor Pickens on April 8, he says that he's going to attempt to resupply the fort. In what document, and to whom did he say the opposite?

lincoln wrote a personal letter to President Jefferson Davis positively stating that the fort would be neither resupplied nor reinforced UNLESS the fort was fired on and/or attacked by sea.

when President Davis did NOTHING to harm the fort, nor the persons therein, lincoln chose to resupply AND reinforce the garrison.

had lincoln NOT ordered the ship to resupply the fort, it would NOT have been shelled. UNLIKE lincoln, President Davis was an HONEST/HONORABLE man AND Davis wanted PEACE with the USA.
