Sumter was no threat to the port of Charleston.
Major Robert Anderson, who was the Yankee in charge at Sumter, disagrees with you, as I showed. post #(504) Guess who I believe...hint...it aint you.

Lincoln told S Carolina he was a sending supply ship.
A humanitarian effort.

Beauregard proved him wrong
S Carolina militia had Ft Sumter surrounded.
If Anderson tried to blockade, they would rightfully use it
Wrong, Fort Sumpter sits in the middle of the entrance to Charleston harbor. After New Orleans, Charleston was the most important Confederate harbor with quadruple the traffic of the next most important harbor, Savannah Georgia. With the Union holding Fort Sumpter, Charleston harbor was closed to traffic.Sumter was no threat to the port of Charleston.
S Carolina Batteries surrounded the fort. If Sumter attempted to blockade the port and attack ships…..THEN an attack is warranted
Guess what happened after the Confederates took Ft Sumter?
Lincoln blockaded ALL Confederate ports
How did that work out?

The South was stupid enough to attack a U.S. Fort and start a war. They could have just left it alone while they negotiated with the U.S.You know nothing about the Sumter event.
Fort Sumter was not even finished. It had been abandoned for years. The condition of Fort Sumter at the time of the firing on Fort Sumter was abysmal. Had it been allowed to remain in Federal Yankee hands it would have been completely furnished with the Federal navy backing it up, and it would have been very difficult to remove.
Plus, Anderson was under orders not to fire first. Because Lincoln wanted to make sure the South fired first and were the 'evil people'. Thus the destruction of Fort Sumter in 1861, doesn't represent what the Fort would eventually be if left to the Yankees.
You have proved you know nothing about Sumter. You just repeat shit you want to believe and has been shoved up your ass. You provide nothing as proof for the bullshit you speak.

The US did not need Sumter to blockade the Port of Charleston.
They did it quite easily shortly after the war started
The North was the good guys..Lincoln needed the South to fire on Fort Sumter. So the North could posture themselves as the good guys. Protectors of the flag, mom, apple pie, and bullshit.
The North was the good guys..
FIghting to preserve the Union
FIghting to end slavery
Confederacy was an Evil Empire formed to preserve slavery
No way anyone can defend the Confederacy
So tell us…Except you have been proven to be a liar. Thus your opinion is null and void.

Do you celebrate Hitler and the Nazis?I am not ashamed of my German heritage either.
Germany contributed to science and music etc etc etc
Do you celebrate Hitler and the Nazis?
That is what people do when they celebrate the Confederacy
Not quite understanding your post here. You are against people celebrating their heritages?What leftards like rw want, is a nation where every group is allowed, even encouraged to celebrate their heritage,
except white people. We are to be second class citizens, who need to live in fear of anyone calling us out for our various supposed evils, and denoucing us.
This is not a recipe for healthy society, where people live in freedom and happiness. It is designed for oppresion and despair.
ANd violence. Because white people are not going to put up with this shit much longer.
No, i dontDo you celebrate Hitler and the Nazis?
