Attempts to deliver food to them was met by southern agression and a southern act of war.

I trust this is a busy time of year for you as well, heck it's taken me two days to get back to this, and this is what I have to deal with? How discourteous to waste my time with a lie like this during a pre-holiday panic. Here's a tip: If you're going to lie, make sure it's not as well documented. Maybe you could find something obscure to make crap up about, like Seward's hemmoroids or something equally relevent.

The wholesale destruction that you lament about was directly caused by those acts

So the whole thing was fought over probably fifty acres of swampland and manmade islands on which lay US forts. Is that an adequate summation of what you've posted?

The difference is that government seizure of propery follows a set of legal guidelines and requires actions on the part of the courts.

No, it doesn't. Look into asset forfeiture.

Fourth time, G: Because the men leading the southern rebellion chose war as their vehicle for protecting slavery.

LOL. The men leading the Southern rebellion chose secession as their vehicle for protecting slavery & sovereignty. The republicans were hell-bent on war, thinking that men would scatter before the might of the federal armies. Their gamble was almost as simplistic and incorrect as your feeble response that the whole war was fought over possession of the forts.
