  • The battle began before sunrise on April 12, 1861
  • Confederates were the first to open fire on the Fort
  • the fort is huge but stood little chance against the Confederates
  • The battle lasted 34 hours, and the fort surrendered
  • Only one person died as a result of the battle because the soldier's cannon misfired and killed him.
