The United states was the federal gov. that land and building was owned by the UNITED States. You are looking at the fed gov like you look at it today, not back in 1861. The south paid for most of that fort, probably 80% since the south was paying the brunt of the fed. budget "That means that S. Carolina was attempting to occupy a military fortification built by the Federal Government, for the purpose of housing a Federal military garrison, not a local S. Carolina militia." what ?? it was to house the military forces of the new Country the CSA not some militia. once again the fort was built by the United States "In fact, it wasn't under "renovation".. It was STILL under construction.." const. struc in 1829, so they were still up dating, but it was EMPTY and entering it broke the agreement worked out by both sides. It wasn't a civil war until thenorth invade Virginia, it was just states breaking away and forming their own country "The fact is that the Federal Gov't didn't recognize the rebellious southern states as a legitimate country." you keep talking about the federal gov. Ok I'll p[lay your game, there was a large part of the 'federal' gov that approved the move wholeheartedly, the only ones who didn't approve were the ones who weren't gonna get any tariff money and would now have to pay their own way
