[Non-Sequitur]

South Carolina seceeded and had a federal base sitting right in the middle of its real estate so it was a bit of a problem. Had the feds gave up the base (as they should have) then Ft. Sumter would had not been the starting pt.

Why should they have given it up?

They had an enemy base located in its state which was an unsustainable situation.

So if Cuba decided that having that base in Gitmo is an 'unsustainable situation' then would you support their bombarding it into surrender?

What an idiotic analogy. Good night.
