Actually Anderson was originally at Fort Moultrie. South Carolina had reached an agreement with President Buchanan on the secession which included an agreement by South Carolina to leave the forts for the time being and an agreement from Buchanan that all forts will remain as is during this interim.
Anderson was asked to return to Fort Moultrie and would not. South Carolina tolerates this for several months and finally takes Fort Sumter without killing anyone and forces Anderson to surrender Fort Sumter.
So... I could take you example a whole other direction... but.. I won't.
