NOPE. inasmuch as lincoln, the TYRANT, had said (in his own hand) that there would be NO attempt to resupply/reinforce the fort.

btw, the local merchants of Charleston were,on at least the PREVIOUS day if NOT on the day of the bombardment, still happily selling everything the fort wanted to the fort's population. some of the luxury goods supplied to the fort were fresh bread, cakes, pastries,lace, coffee, tea & chocolate. one union officer even had his (privately-owned) pistol repaired & returned to him by a Charleston gunsmith.

the war was the SOLE fault of lincoln. the blood of a MILLION Americans is indelibly on his hands.

So? Is that reason to attack one's brethren?
