An occupied Union military base. That was in the process of being abandoned. And would have been abandoned had it not been for naval blockades. And were still attacked. Without notice. By cowards.

Whitewash it all you want, but the fact of the matter is, the South fired the first shots. And continued to invade Union soil up until Gettysburg with no cassus belli.

Aye, they fired the first shots. However, the Union forces were told to evacuate South Carolina land before any shots were fired. The garrison refused. Therefore, Confederate forces began a siege, to get their rightful land back.

Ah but it didn't mention how the CSA asked for surrender of the fort and immediate evacuation of the fort since they were trespassing on Confederate land before the siege had began.

It was federal property containing federal military equipment. If nothing else the Union should have been remembered for it. This could have been settled in the courts. Your apologetics lack substance.

The fort was being abandoned. CSA blockades held their schedule back.

The CSA invaded while it was still rightful Union territory, and stole Union supplies. Like gutless thugs.

An occupied Union military base. That was in the process of being abandoned. And would have been abandoned had it not been for naval blockades. And were still attacked. Without notice. By cowards.

Whitewash it all you want, but the fact of the matter is, the South fired the first shots. And continued to invade Union soil up until Gettysburg with no cassus belli.

Now, if it was being abandoned, why did Lincoln send more supplies? Also, the Gettysburg Campaign was the only true invasion of the North by regular forces. Maryland was (and is) considered part of the Greater South. And it would have seceded too, if Lincoln didn't imprison part of its legislature and enforce martial law.

A fort that has a fairly sized garrison during a time of peace, and not under siege should have the supplies necessary for at least several weeks.

And the original supply count they had was before the CSA blockades. They had to push back their withdrawl. Thus, they needed more food. Fuck this isn't rocket science.
