” The South just wanted to leave the Union which was their right. They never tried to invade, conquer and subjugate the North.”

They tried to take over Fort Sumter which was Union territory. Firing upon it was an act of war. The south had the right to leave, sure, but they lost the right to be left alone when they attacked a Union military fort.

According to Federal Law at the time, forts were built on state land to protect the local citizens. When guns were trained on Charleston, the agreement was violated.

At the rime of its occupation, the island was nothing more than a reinforced stone building. It was never commissioned.

The notion that it was “union property” was a canard used by newspapers to incite people with limited knowledge of law.

Union military had already fired on the South and arranged a blockade of ports.

The officials knew the Union was invading and took steps to stop it.
