So a fortification, built by the French and Canadians was seized by conquest by the British. At least once it was captured from the Brits by Americans. Its ownership was calculated by possession, not title.

How again is this even remotely analogous to the seizure of Sumter by the rebels?

Don't blow smoke. Is it, or is it not American property?

I'm thinking that if I have to explain it further, you aren't knowledgeable enough to understand it anyway. But just for kicks and grins, you do know that the United States was formerly Colonies of Great Britain, right? Well, we issued a Deceleration of Independence from them, and count the founding of our Country from that Date; July 4, 1776. Should we have let them keep an American fortress?
