to the poster concerned about Fed land and state military
Fed land is not owned by the Fed government, it is leased from the State in which it is located and Managed by the Fed Gvt.
that, ^^^ is exactly how and why Ft Sumpter became a firefight.
the State ordered the Feds OFF of their (state owned/Fed occupied) land ... the Feds refused hence the firefight began.
as for state military, what do you think the National Guard is exactly ??
do you really think the NG along with alternate state militias could not defend their own borders ??
in the days of the Civil War, information was scarce ... that is not the environment of today.
back then, ppl were much easier to manipulate with limited information
{surprisingly, it's almost as easy today with ample information readily available
} however, when the Fed govt is dissolved, guess which parts of the MIC go with it ??
and some time
ago both tribes were sworn enemies.
