The South had no right to claim the property as a sovereign nation. They had no right to fire upon resupply ships either.
The Northern States continued to pass laws to prevent what was legally established as Constitutional procedure concerning the return of fugitive slaves
I guess you are going to ignore the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 and the Dred Scott decision. I guess you are all for state's rights except when those states respected freedom for all men.
LOL! You mean against an unconstitutional government?
This subject isn't funny. The South had no right to form a sovereign nation and the expansion of slavery and forcing it upon those who respected freedom for all men was an unjust cause.
The northern states agreed to the terms of the compact when they signed it. Just because they decided to move FORWARD with their own ideals instead of using constitutional measures to change it is what gave birth to our current [gag] democracy.

The South was forcing slavery on no one, they were merely insisting the other States live up to their agreement to adhere to the compact.
The Founders put the slavery clause NOT under the powers of Congress, but under Article V .... the States. They then passed the Fugitive Slave Act of 1793, which gave the procedure for the return of fugitive slaves.
THIS IS WHAT THE NORTHERN STATES agreed to do, then turned around and refused to do so.
Trying to justify the act of perjury of the Northern States by claiming some type of moral high ground is blatant hypocrisy.
