This idiot seems to think if Kentucky had decided to secede, they could've just taken over Fort Knox and all kept for itself all the gold inside.You moron ... the "territory" is the land. SC ceded that to the federal government. The "property" is the fort. How fucking deranged are you? The fort was, and remains, federal property. It was paid for by the federal government and built on federal land. You are amazingly retarded.The land IS within their borders. It doesn't make it their land. Is anyone else to blame you don't understand the meaning of the word, "cede?"
It means it's their territory. Learn the difference between "property" and "territory."
When the confederacy opened fire on the fort, they attacked the United States of America. The federal government was within its Constitutional authority to defend itself, even if SC wanted to disavow the U.S. Constitution.
If the federal government refused to pack up its stuff and go, then Kentucky would be perfectly within its rights.
And Florida could just take over NASA too, and North Carolina could just take over Fort Bliss, and if New Mexico wanted to take over the Los Alamos National Laboratory, they could do it too.
Yes they could. What do you think happened in the former Soviet Union when it broke up? Does Russia still station troops in its bases in the Baltic countries?
You're a numskull.
