RE: Lincoln and Ft. Sumter
From the outset, whether Anderson could get supplies from Charleston is moot. The fort was a United States installation and South Carolina was still a part of the United States. Lincoln had every right to provision whatever property he wished. Once South Carolina fired on Fort Sumter, it committed an act of treason against the government. How is this not simple?
