when i have cited DOCUMENTERY PROOF

The only THING you ever site is the fact that you are a nut.

Show the proof that Sumter was open to provisions from Charleston merchants, or be know as a damn lier and nut case that you are.

April 7, 1861. -- P. G. T. Beauregard orders all transports to Fort Sumter cut off. This ended the fort's supply of fresh food.

They had nothing left but old salt pork which is why Anderson told them that the 15th would be the last day and they would be forced to quit Sumter.

Why did Davis fire when he knew that in a few days Anderson would be starved out? Because Davis wanted and needed war. It was the only way he would ever get Virginia to join his little vicious slave driving republic that you so love and long for.

to ALL: MORE BILGE from "ditto". (his tuck in trade is saying that people who disagree with his BIAS & PREJUDICES are "nuts".)

President Davis wanted NO WAR. lincoln, the TYRANT, wanted WAR.

sorry, "ditto" but you comment makes you look either DISHONEST, IGNORANT of the most basic facts about the period and/or STUPID!
