The most extensive and devastating damage to Sumter was in fact done repeatedly by Union guns in the years that followed, not CSA guns on April 12, 1861.

Again, I have no complaints. You of course, are free to indulge yourself in your own perceptions.

True. But significant damage was done during the rebel bombardment, as the picture showed. The fact that nobody was killed during the bombardment is due entirely to the strength of the fort and poor rebel marksmanship and not to any altruism on the part of Beauregard.

OK, how about agenda? Your agenda is the same as the Confederate one. Is that more accurate?

I don't think you understand, smoothsailing.

DOODLE! FEELS that Beauregard did more damage, so that trumps your mere facts. LOL! :)
