RE: Fort Sumter re-visited.
A query has been nagging me for a while -- one which can certainly be answered more quickly by other members than by myself and limited search skills.
From the side of "Northern duplicity made us do it," one statement pops up now and then: reference to a solemn pact or agreement between the US Government and Governor Pickens or the CSA or both that was violated when Anderson moved from Moultrie to Sumter.
Does anyone have an explanation or reference to exactly what these pacts said?
