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

Attempted theft does not changge ownership. Therefore you are wrong. The government of the State of South Carolina ceded all claims, both public and private, on the site of Sumter to the Federal Government long before the war. They had no jurisdiction or claim on it.

Wrong. The Sovereign People of South Carolina passed an ordinance severing all ties with the Union, and ownership reverted back to the state.

No theft was involved.
