It was not federal property. The federal government owns NO property in a foreign nation unless that nation gives it permissions to do so. The Confederacy gave no such permission.
Defending your nation does not make you a terrorist.

You seem confused on who or what 'the government' is.
South Carolina was not a foreign nation, you see it was part of the United States of America.
AND nations often own property in foreign nations even without permission.
I am not. In that instance it was the State of Virginia.

He'd be disgusted at his spawn.
Maybe so, I do not really care.
In most cases, and in this case, an uncle does not spawn a nephew.

A very distant ancestor of mine was a famous traitor, who tried to assassinate Owain, our last Prince, and died saving the life of Henry V at Agincourt, silly bugger! We are not responsible for our distant relatives! Fortunately, in my case, there is an illegitimacy on the way to me! I think I'd prefer Lee though!

Haha, I dont really have a preference, who we are distantly related to has very little to do with who we are.

South Carolina was a foreign nation at the time, dude. It was part of the Confederacy.
No. No foreigner can own property in a nation without permission from that nation.
Welcome to the USA's very own Cultural Revolution.
get cancelled and do away with the "4 olds" ( China's in the 60's) - Marxists want a blank slate

The Four Olds were: Old Ideas, Old Culture, Old Habits, and Old Customs (Chinese: Jiù Sīxiǎng 旧思想, Jiù Wénhuà 旧文化, Jiù Fēngsú 旧风俗, and Jiù Xíguàn 旧习惯).[1] The campaign to destroy the Four Olds began in Beijing on August 19, 1966 (the "Red August", during which a massacre also took place in Beijing[2]), shortly after the launch of the Cultural Revolution.[3]

Confederate General Beauregard opened up on Ft. Sumpter in April 1861. The first shots were by the south and that is not defense.

Nope. Just a few in the State of Virginia government, including the governor.
Just those idiots that are 'woke'.

That is defense. The Union was attempting to resupply and occupy the fort. That is an invasion of a foreign nation.

Defending a nation is not treason.
Actually, they do. It's called a treaty, dumbass. This statue has nothing to do with the treaty or the loss of the South.
