Civil War History thread

[Mighty AP]

big dan -- yes its was a federal fort * ( however it was within south carolina "state" waters --- so when south carolina left the union all the lands within the states area of control went with them since the were no longer part of the union ) the federal troops were asked to leave the state of south carolina peacefully and hand over control of the fort --without blood shed * --

the fort commander even asked the us govt for permission to do so --he was told by lincoln to stay at all cost --mr lincoln wanted a "shot fired in anger" and bloodshed --- it was needed as grounds to go to war -- against a "armed" rebellion

Exactly right Ivan.
