States rights mattered back then, they felt that that stuff was the property of SC
Except SC ceded Ft Sumter to the US federal government by law about 20 years prior to the war. SC was in the wrong to attack Ft Sumter. There was no justification.

So the Confederacy was supposed to just let the US Army continue to walk around in their territory? Doesn't really make sense that the CSA would look at this one little fort way down in SC and just say, "oh, that's the old Yankee fort, better let them be."

It is required to study History in its context. McCormick would have put slavery out of business by 1890.Machines are easier to manage than slaves.Also Northern Banksters.

I'm sure Brazil has no regrets either.

Being as it was the first shot fired in the war, you would hope diplomacy would have been better used first.
Besides that just feeds the notion the CSA started the war.

It's not a matter of race, as much as culture. If you are brought up in any environment, with your morals and expectations based upon that environment, then that is what you will deem as appropriate. At some point, someone has to stop with the current culture and set of morals and realize that their kids will live the same terrible life that they have unless they teach them that there is a better way. Hard to teach it when that is the life that they were taught.
It took the Jews 1000's of years but they have all the money, power and influence now. I guess the decedents of the slaves here still have 1800 years or so to get their sh!t together.....

How do you think the US would respond to Cuba bombing Naval Station Guantanamo Bay? And we don't even own Gitmo.

If you believe the North went to war to preserve the union then the South’s actions caused the war.

So the woke Africans stayed and the Africans who were not woke were forced to leave.
This means that the African Americans of today are not capable of being woke, because their ancestors were not woke.
Those are your words, not mine because you said it was a “battle of the woke and the not woke to stay in Africa”

That was hotly disputed.
SC believed it was their property and thus fought to take it.
The Feds believed it was theirs and fought to keep it.
That was the big picture and why war was started. The South believed states were sovereign and the North believed the Union and the Federal Govt. was boss.

South Carolina ceded the land to the US in 1836.
There was no dispute.

A good analogy would be if Cuba shelled Naval Station Guantanamo Bay. Cuba knows that the US has a legal right to be there. They would be attempting to take it by force . . . just like the insurgents in South Carolina.
