Thanks stand waite.

The LEASED part of Fort Sumter is a fact I didn't know about. I always thought it was Federal land.

[stand watie]

the USA never had anything but proprietary rights to the fort.

the PROOF of this was that SC State Constables were routinely used to enforce the law on the island in the ante-bellum period.had it been federal property, the USMS would have been the agency charged with that responsibility.
