Fort Sumter wasn’t federal property after SC took it back.

From December 31, 1836 when the South Carolina legislature deeded the property in perpetuity to the federal government of the United States it has been a federal property. There was a short duration when it was illegally seized and occupied but that was rectified.

And that was an act of war. Thanks for making my point.
