Instead you post a red herring.
When I called you on it, you went into elaborate detail as if it mattered, but really to cover your incompetence and canard style postings.
Then you resort to insults, instead of facts.
Rustbucket gave you the lesson you should learn and live with.
Why don't you put on your big boy pants and move on.
I posted the act of the South Carolina legislature that gave sole legal claim to Sumter and the property it was on to the federal government. Perhaps it might prove your point if you and bushpilot could point to the treaty or agreement or legislation which legally changed ownership from the federal government back to the state of South Carolina?

Called me on it? You claim that Sumter belonged to South Carolina because you say it did.

Why don't you put on your big boy pants and move on.
Because someone might wander along and come to the mistaken conclusion that you knew what you were talking about. We can't have that, now can we?
