“Sumter was a U.S. fort. Built with federal funds on land deeded to it free and clear by the South Carolina legislature. It was not Southern territory.”
It was Southern Territory after South Carolina seceded December, 1860.
“It was a fort. Revenues were not involved.”
(Sigh). The revenues came from the Southern economy, not from Fort Sumter.
So I suppose that means that Guantanamo Bay became Cuban after Castro took over? Which would also mean that we're there illegally and that he has the right to shell the crap out of it and take it over? Right?
(Sigh). The revenues came from the Southern economy, not from Fort Sumter.
And not too many at that.
