Laurie,

With all due respect, I have read a great deal on Sumter, and I am well aware of what you're talking about. It doesn't hold water.

The attack on Fort Sumter, was that because the Union were on Confederacy land and refused to get out?

No, it was because South Carolinians refused to realize that they were illegally trying to hold onto FEDERAL property.
