As Joe K has pointed out to you a hundred times here the fallacy of your Corwin Amendment argument and the fact that Lincoln was legitamately resupplying a federal installation, property of The United States government and not provoking an armed engagement and came under fire from Charleston Harbor shore batteries. Fulminate all you want Bird brain.

As I've pointed out to JoeK, The fort sat on South Carolina's sovereign territory and belonged to the state. The Territorial waters up to 3 miles offshore belong to the state. Lincoln deliberately started a war for money and empire. Slavery was one thing the North was more than happy to compromise over. All of his weak arguments to the contrary have failed.

You'll never change 1865 so man up and admit you arguments are mute and leave it at that because I'm going to be the bone int the throat of you Confederates and faux conservatives as long as you keep it up.

You'll never change history so admit your propaganda is just lying bullshit because I'm never going to stop refuting your propaganda, lies and BS about it.

Nope! Fort Sumter was ceded to the Federal government early in the nineteenth century. South Carolina ceded it to the United States. On December 17, 1836, South Carolina officially ceded all “right, title and, claim” to the site of Fort Sumter to the United States.

Also South Carolina which had owned multiple forts, namely Fort Moultrie, Castle Pinckney, and Fort Johnson ceded them, along with sites for the future erection of forts, to the Federal Government in 1805.

The proper course of action would have been to purchase the property or properties back.

Note I will not participate any further in these “count the angels dancing on the head of a pin” Civil War discussions.

I not changing the history. You're trying to change it. Your trying to justify 1861 and and re write 1865.

He's pointed out all the same lies and revisionism you always engage in and then your resort to ad hominems when your arguments are refuted and admittedly I do too but only after my patience is reaching the limit. I've stated previously the facts as to the South secession, it's first use military engagement and it's invasion of Maryland and Pennsylvania. Closing the door on this for now.
