By the way- I love your citation- lots of good information- like this
Confederate Government Resolves to Take Forts
.
Of course they would just like the Continental Army resolved to take Ft Ticonderoga and other British facilities once the US declared sovereignty.
Ft Sumter was there to protect the people of South Carolina and not the NE Yankess that lived a thousand miles north.
However, that does not negate the fact that there was truce in place that Lincoln broke or that the real hostilities started the day the filthy ass Union Army crossed the Potomac River to kill Americans.
The South seceded from the Union but that was not the act of war. That was a political act. Lincoln created the act of war by raising an Army and invading the secession states. Despicable!
