The Confederates should not have decided that the fort was in "their" waters----because, before they seceded, the waters were the property of the United States.
A "foreign nation" laid claim to territory owned by the United States.
And China use to own all the China sea.
No fort Sumter didn’t belong to the north, Lincoln wanted war and knew not leaving fort Sumter would get him that war.
Nations own water 100 miles form their shore the fort was in a bay. Your logic supports China aggression and future wars the start so I’d rethink that by same logic then fort Sumter and all the water up to our beaches belong to England. I don’t think the USA would have accepted such a ludicrous claim by England oh wait we didn’t and started a war over something similar. Got the white house burned down for it. If south had won England would made us pay reperations for fort Sumter. Just as today China doesn’t own the water up to beaches of japan like they claim.
Just as we were on the Mexican side of border whe shots broke out starting that war. This has been a strategy to get us into wars for long time.
