We know that Anderson strenghten Moultrie outer defenses against an assualt with mines and other devices. And had informed Washington that he had done so. But IF he had orders from either Sec of War Floyd or President Buchanan, which we know he did at least in the matter of not upsetting the military situation in Charleston because he was ordered to abandon Fort Sumter and return to Fort Moultrie, then he disobeyed not one or two, but three orders from his immediate commanders, who were still his legitimate commanders at the time and NOT Abraham Lincoln.
Had Major Anderson obeyed his legitimate order from his commanders, Buchanan may have adverted the crisis and avoided the situation which lead to the War Between the States, whether it pleased the Northern populas or not. AS far as I am aware there was no threat to Anderson's position at Fort Moultrie, nor had there been any demand at the time of his abandonment of Fort Moultrie, for him to surrender his fort. Those orders may have been in fact the objective of his commandering Officers to defuse the situation. To stand down the obvious threats being aimed at the people of Charleston by Anderson.
Do you think that President Buchanan may have had knowledge that such a conspiracy was in play to create the powderkeg that Fort Sumter was to become? And if so was he issueing these orders and seeing that they were made as public knowledge as they were to prevent such a thing from happening? If so, If others like Winfield Scott or Doubleday were circumvented the execution of those orders, then they were guilty of Treason, were they not in the willful disobedence to those lawful orders?
Personally, I am getting to where I do not believe anything that is contained in a conventional History textbook. It would seem that it is all a lie contrived to justify that illegal war against the Southern people.
