APRIL 8, 1861:
South Carolina objects to the U.S.
resupply of Fort Sumter.
A heated debate erupts among Charlestonians and in the
Confederate Cabinet regarding any possible C.S.A. response to U.S.A. resupply
efforts.
Confederate Secretary of State Robert Toombs strenuously opposes using
force against Fort Sumter, saying that it "is fatal," but Confederate President Jefferson Davis says that
the Confederate States had created a nation and he had a duty as its executive
to use force if necessary.
