No one should have to accept a Foreign Power occupying a fort in their main harbor.

No one should have to accept a Foreign Power occupying a fort in their main harbor.

Why not? Cuba does.

Charleston wasn't their 'main harbor'. It was the third or fourth busiest port. The fort had done nothing to interfere with traffic into or out of the harbor. In fact, the only interruption to shipping was caused by the rebel batteries.
