You mean the use of violence to drive American soldiers from an American fort?

No, I meant exactly what I wrote - an attempt to drive invaders from SC.  Lincoln could have pulled the federal troops from SC, but ordered them to stand fast.  And was sending supplies and reinforcements. 

As I pointed out in other threads, it wasn't SC sending an invasion force to NY or Boston, was it?

You mean a SC fort.  SC had left, remember?  At best, the federal troops were illegal occupiers.  The troop and supply ships just hours away were invaders.

SC can't leave....

Why would Lincoln pull Federal troops from a Federal fort?  The first shots of the war were actually fired at Ft. Pickens the night before.

Can you please state the statute or article of the Constitution that prohibited any state from leaving at that time?  You and others keep claiming that states were prohibited, but none of you have been able to give a single citation to back it up.

Are you then saying that there were no legal or constitutional issues to prevent any state from leaving the Union?

The rebs had as much right to Ft Sumter as the Cubans have for Gitmo.

They never left the Union as far as the North was concerned.  The North considered them to be in rebellion which they were.  They sent troops to fix that.

If they never left, they why did they have to be readmitted?  Can't have it both ways.

Because Lincoln wasn't alive.  He considered them unruly children.

The local (NC) paper had 2 events to commerate the 150th highlighted.. #1 The confederate shelling of Ft. Sumpter, #2 A ceremony in NY, to honor the state that lost the most lives = 53,000.

And his answer was to kill them off? ::)
