No. Lincoln sent a ship with troops. That was an act of WAR.

No to you. Sending federal troops to a federal fort is not an "act of war".

Shooting cannons at that federal fort WAS an act of war.

That shouldn't be too hard of a concept to grasp.

[TexConfederate1861]

That fort was no LONGER Federal Property as of Dec 1860.
Therefore you are wrong.
