Now, just about every one of the installations you listed has something in common: No bloodshed. The local confederates knocked on the door, and the personnel (often one man) were told their time was up. And the personnel were allowed free passage to the north.

So if I knock on your door, tell you to get out otherwise I'll blow your house up, and you do then does that mean I legally own it?

The more proper example would be if we each owned a side of a duplex...and ojr families were free to come and go to either side. Then you start telling me what to do and I say screw it, we’ll both just stay in our houses. Put you persist in having family members positioned in my stairwell with a gun pointed at me.
