Did the Battle of Fort Sumter change the course of the US Civil War?
It can be reasonably argued that the hostilities at Fort Sumter (in the harbor of Charleston, South Carolina) changed the course of the Civil War for at least this reason: without this conflict, the Civil War might never have happened. On the other hand, because the South was intent on splitting from the Union, it seems certain that some "spark" would soon have been struck that would have ignited war even if Fort Sumter had not been fired upon in April of 1861. The course of the US Civil War was created after the assault on Fort Sumter and the call-up for 75,000 Federal troops by US President Lincoln to help end the rebellion. The stakes became higher and enlarged the "rebellion" when four more Southern states joined the Confederacy.
