Lincoln ordered Anderson to hold the fort and sent warships to further that purpose.

Yeah, that's not the least reason that Lincoln is widely considered the greatest president and foremost citizen of the country.

It strikes me SO funny that John Ashcroft, that stout defender of the CSA is now responsible for rooting out treason and sabotage. You are making his job just a bit easier.

So stubbornly occupying a fort that is not yours to begin with despite repeatedly friendly attempts to negotiate a turnover in peace, and doing so at a time when that fort also happens to be surrounded by superior military forces makes one great? Sounds to me more like a case of an incredibly bold but also incredibly stupid person

I'm sure your ideological and intellectual compatriates Julian Bond, Sheila Jackson Lee, and Jesse Jackson are laughing it up right with you.
