How big is fort sumer?
It's a little more complicated than that. Fort Sumter sits in the harbor of Charleston, South Carolina. After the election of Abraham Lincoln, South Carolina seceded from the Union (the first to do so) and with six other states, created the Confederate States of America. Lincoln declared secession to be legally void, and maintained possession of federal property. Fort Sumter was a US fort; as such, it was a federal property. It was also inside the Confederacy. At the time that the "first battle of the Civil War" occurred at Fort Sumter, the fort was a "Union fort". The fort surrendered, however, and was held by the Confederacy throughout the duration of the war.

What is fort Sumter about?
It is part of the civil war. this was the first battle of the civil war and all started when Fort Sumter was running low on equipment. he didn't want them starving or in need do he promised that he would bring supplies to the fort and no troops. then when the Fort Started see troops arrive with their food and equipment then shot their first shot. they went back and forth. this battle only lasted only about 2-3 Days the walls, before the destruction, were 5 feet thick so it can take bombs bullets and grenades. they needed these wall very strong they were about 7 feet and higher. If you chose to do the battle of fort Sumter cuz ur gunna have a really hard time to find anything useful on your paper, id recommend Battle of Gettysburg because there is a lot more stuff to write about so it much easier
