In what state is Fort Sumter located?

Answer 1

Fort Sumter is on an island in Charleston Harbor (Charleston, South Carolina), where the US Civil War is said to have begun.
When the South Carolina legislature voted to secede from the US, the US Army refused to turn over the fort. As Union reinforcements sailed for the fort, Confederate forces bombarded it on April 12, 1861. It was surrendered the next day - the only casualties suffered were during a cannon salute to their flag by the departing Union troops. But the seizure of the fort resulted in subsequent military actions by the North against the "rebellious states" of the South.
