Fort necessity

The first "battle" of the Civil War was the shelling of Fort Sumter. Fort Sumter was a fort on an island just off the coast of Charleston, South Carolina. It was held by US troops while the South seceded and formed the Confederacy. President Lincoln tried to send supplies to the fort, and the governor of SC demanded the troops surrender, before the supplies could arrive. When the troops refused, Confederate troops began shooting artillery at the fort. The Union troops in the fort tried to shoot back but didn't have enough troops or guns, so there was no way they could win. The fort surrendered after two days of shelling. Nobody was killed, but during the surrender ceremony, there was an accident that did kill a few men- the first casualties of a long and bloody war.
Fort Vincennes
Yes. Not just in the hospital, but in factories and offices, and especially in war industries.
The British Decided to build a fort on French land causeing an uproar. This caused the French to take this fort as well as about 7 others that were built later on. George Washington was also on his way with men to help at the fort, but they were also carrying cannons which made the trip slow. When they got there the French ordered the men back to the colonies with a message. This was one of the wars that sparked the French and Inian War.
The garrison of Fort Sumter was of 80 men.
