The fact is that when Anderson moved, Lincoln was furious.

Lincoln wasn't president. Why would he be furious and what evidence do you have that he was?

He had orders to hold both forts, dammit. As the official sacrificial lamb his chances for survival had improved beyond what was tolerable with the abandonment of Moultrie.

Orders from whom?

Lincoln wasn't president.

We both know Lincoln didn't wait for his presidency to begin before issuing military orders.
