Did the South take posession of federal property which did not belong to them? Did the not do so without compensation? That is stealing in anybody's book.
Ft Sumpter was no more federal property than Yellowstone park is the property of the NPS. such "federal land" belongs SOLELY to the STATES/CITIZENS & is ONLY "administered" by the feds.
once SECESSION was a FACT, Ft Sumter was ENEMY PROPERTY in a FOREIGN country,. (fyi, that's what you DYs are BLINDED about. the CSA was NO LONGER the USA.)
the STATE of SC/the CSA was well within their RIGHTS as citizens to attempt to remove FOREIGN TROOPS from their country, after they had requested than the USA remove them.
fyi, your post to the contrary is SILLY & NONSENSE. nothing more & nothing less than BILGE, too.
