During the American Civil War, the force that laid siege to Fort Sumter initially consisted of militia troops from the Southern state of South Carolina. For several months, Fort Sumter was left alone, if also watched carefully, by these militia -- until April of 1861, at which time the fort was besieged and then bombarded into surrender.
