In 1860, Fort Sumter, located in Charleston (South Carolina) harbor, was an Union-occupied fortification surrounded by hostile forces. Over the course of several months, the fort's surrender was demanded by South Carolina, which had seceded from the Union, although no hostilities had as yet broken out between North and South. Finally, in April of 1861, Fort Sumter was fired on -- and the Civil War thus began.
