Perhaps I wasn't clear. You seemed to imply that there was an agreement to turn over the forts in Charleston and Pensacola. I still maintain that there was no such agreement. There was an agreement made by Buchanan not to reinforce Sumter if South Carolina made no move to sieze any federal facilities. That agreement did not stipulate that the forces already there could not be moved among the existing facilities. Buchanan kept the agreement and it was South Carolina who voided it when they occupied Moultrie and Pinkney and the Charleson Armory.
