627 refers to Fort Sumter. We are discussing Moultrie, Johnson, and Pinckney.
You said "forts in Charleston." If you didn't mean to include Sumter you should have said so.
You tried to deceive people and you got caught.

Yeah, in a post that repeatedly and specifically stated its reference to be Moultrie, Johnson, and Pinckney - as in the forts that were seized after Anderson moved into Sumter. It was your sidekick's argument at the time that SC had "stolen" those forts before it sent negotiators to Washington to deal with Sumter, which was another issue entirely. I simply pointed out the fact that they did not steal those forts, which had been theirs to begin with and which had been ceded only conditionally. As is your chronic habit, you came along and attempted to assign Sumter into my post and preceeded to debate an issue that I do not dispute. But since you are more interested in semantical nonsense than you are in facts this should come as no surprise.
Sounds like the Devil is attempting to point a finger at a sinner to me.
