No Generals. Just a Major (Anderson) commanding the garrison on the island of Fort Sumter.
Gen. Pierre Gustave Toutant Beauregard for the South and Major Robert Anderson for the Union.
The Battle of Fort Sumter marked the beginning of the Civil War, it was the first "official" battle. Fort Sumter was a Union Fort. But, Confederate troops wanted to seize it, as they had with other Union forts. They asked commanders at Fort Sumter to surrender, but they wouldn't. As a result, Confederate troops opened fire in an effort to seize Fort Sumter from the North. Southern troops fired first, followed by Americans. The bombardment lasted for about 3 days. Hope this helped...
