No different that an embassy or a consulate. You can't seize that without war.

Sure you can, by breaking diplomatic relations. Which Lincoln refused in the first place.

South Carolina was within her rights to tell the Yankees to get out.

YEP, you are correct.

the war was the SOLE FAULT of lincoln & his merry band of thieves/haters/fools. NOBODY else really shares the blame for a MILLION dead Americans, as lincoln CHOSE war, rather than peace, with the new dixie republic.

otoh, don't expect N-S, the Minister of DAMNyankee Propaganda to agree. he says that the war was everyones fault EXCEPT lincoln's.

Under international law, embassies have extraterritorial status. They are exempt from local jusrisdictions, cannot be entered without permission, and severing diplomatic relations does not change that status except in countries with no respect for the law. Like the confederacy, I guess.

Which Lincoln refused in the first place.

No need. One does not extend diplomatic recognition to ones own territory.

South Carolina was within her rights to tell the Yankees to get out.

No she wasn't. Not that that mattered to her.
