Did we consider the forts that the Brits built in America to be their property after we had declared independance? I don’t think so.

Who built them, how much they cost, those are just details. You can’t have a sovereign state with foreign troops stationed on your soil without your permission. That’s called being in a state of war, whether the Northerners want to admit it or not.

We had the military strength to defend our secession, the South did not. Since the South did not have the military strength they should have taken their secession through the Congress.

So we're at war with Cuba?

Since the secession wasn't proven, there was no secession.
