State militia have no business firing on federal troops. They were armed by the federal government in any case.
Until the insurrection broke out there was no blockade.
There was NO “state property” involved, the Fort had been properly deeded to the federal government decades before 1861. South Carolina had no more right to it than Virginia would have.
Every one of Lincoln’s actions against the RAT Rebellion was appropriate and the whole thing was ILLEGAL from beginning to end. There was no southern national rights involved and no violation not fully authorized in the Constitution against an insurrection. See Article I, Section 8, paragraph 15. It isn’t even worth debating such silliness.
Unlike the Idiot Brigade of the Southrons I was born and raised in the South on pure Slaverocracy propaganda. But I eventually learned real history, not so much in the schools, and how the Slavers ruined the South for a hundred years after the Wah.
Apparently you are the product of NO educational system since all would laugh at your ridiculous claims.
Actually it was Federal troops that first fired on lawfully constituted state militia at Pensacola. That was the first hostile move by the Federals.
Insurrection is rebellion against established authority.
The Confederacy had legally adopted its Constitution, with the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches.
There was no insurrection against that legal entity. Any suggestion to the contrary is simply a contrivance to refute the truth......a canard on your part.
The land for the fort was transferred under stipulations of usage and payment. The Federal government had violated its agreement, and therefore only possessed it by theft.
You can rattle on about Federal law, but jurisdiction was not established through Constitutional methods.....just the deaths of 700,000 people.
I do not think anyone is interested in your education, or dis-informational experience. You are only interested in painting the picture of history with extreme bias.
Is there anything else?
