How many confederate solders died at fort Sumter?
None, although one of them came close. One of the Confederate officers who went to discuss Fort Sumter's surrender accidentally drank from a bottle of poison (thinking it was whiskey) but Fort Sumter's surgeon saved his life with a stomach pump. And the only Union deaths were caused by one of their own cannon exploding as the US flag was lowered. Otherwise, Fort Sumter was a battle without casualties.
