Map for Tactical Nuke Strikes

He knows things about Pensacola.

He did not know how the fifth flag got manipulated in 1950 to be the Tennessee battle flag.....when in fact Fort Pickens flew the American flag all during the Civil war.......and Pensacola never was ruled by the confederacy.....fiction.

Found this, Ft.Pickens was never taken but Pensacola was under full control of the confederacy....

The importance of Pensacola to Alabama in a military point of view rendered it an imperative duty of that State to aid in its defense, and 225 gallant Alabamians under Colonel Lomax were immediately ordered to Pensacola. At the same time the governor of Mississippi, at the suggestion of the governor of Alabama, ordered troops to repair at once to Mobile and there await orders to Pensacola. In the course of a few weeks these troops, also forces from Georgia, were encamped at Pensacola in readiness for action whenever it was deemed advisable by the commanding general to make an attack on Fort Pickens, or on such troops as would be eventually landed on Santa Rosa island to act in concert with the garrison. It was necessary that a strong military force should be concentrated to prevent a great Federal depot being established at this point, from which none of the gulf ports would have been free from annoyance or danger, especially Mobile and New Orleans. If confined to Fort Pickens the Federals could not concentrate any considerable body of troops there, and even though the other forts and the navy yard might be commanded by it, still they could not venture to occupy them while our forces were present in sufficient numbers, nor could they fit out an expedition for operations on other points. Though these demonstrations were apparently hostile, they were a necessary precaution for protection to the people of the Gulf States; and the unanimous feeling prevailed that no blood should be shed in the present state of affairs; that a Southern Confederacy must first be organized. During these exciting events telegrams were received by Col. William H. Chase, whom the governor appointed major-general commanding State troops, and by A. E. Maxwell, R. C. Campbell and C. C. Jouge of Pensacola, from Senator S. R. Mallory, "that a collision should be avoided; that Fort Pickens was not worth a drop of blood." Governor Perry, to co-operate with the troops from Alabama and other States, had ordered a force to Pensacola, consisting of two volunteer companies of infantry, one from Leon county, under Capt. Perry A. Amaker, the other from Jefferson county, commanded by Capt. James Patton Anderson. On arriving in Tallahassee en route for Pensacola, a request had been made by the latter company and acceded to by Captain Anderson, who was at the time a member of the convention, that he would command the company on this expedition. The troops failing to get steamboat transportation at St. Marks, returned to Tallahassee and started overland via Quincy and Chattahoo-chee. By urgent request of Captain Amaker, seconded by Governor Perry, Captain Anderson assumed command of both companies. On their arrival at Chattahoochee arsenal a dispatch was received from the governor directing them to remain there until further orders, but within about ten days they were disbanded by order of the governor, it having been decided not to attack Fort Pickens at that time.

So looks like you are wrong Seaoats...

South Carolina took the United States fort and defeated it and took down the American flag.   Sorry, ten days really?  The American flag flew over Pensacola Bay the entire war.........in 1950 in response to desegregation, all across the old confederacy confederate flags were for the first time since the Civil War were being flown in response to attacks on Jim Crow.  Bob and you want to put lipstick on this pig.......and the worst part.....they put up the wrong flag for over fifty years.....historians were not involved........it was politicians and haters.

Nah, tourism. Had to have something to compete with St. Augustine - the first city.
