WHICH merchant ships? - The Star of the West and the Rhoda Shannon.

WHEN exactly? - January 9 and April 3 repectively.

under what circumstances?? - The Star of the West was trying to bring supplies to Sumter. The Rhoda Shannon was a merchantman with a load of ice which wandered into Charleston Harbor. When challenged she raised the U.S. flag and then was fired upon.

POSITIVE proof please. - Here and Here and any number of history books.

see, N-S, 2 can play that game - Yes, but only one of us actually comes up with the facts. If I were you I'd swear, call you names, and then claim the information was posted by fortherepublic some time last year and that I didn't have the time to look it up for you.
