first shot fired to start the civil war by frank james
The confederacy of the southern states wanted Fort Sumter to have a foot hold on the harbors. The confederacy held possession of Fort Sumter until February 1865, when the North came in and raised the Northern states flag and regained control of Fort Sumter.
Fort Sumter was surrendered by the Union when its garrison packed up and left. This was the first action of the Civil War. Later the Union re-occupied it after the Confederate surrender, but there was no need for any 'capturing' by then. The Union formally retook possession of Fort Sumter on February 22, 1865.
It was returned to the fort at the end of the war in 1865, and is on display at the National Park Service monument at the fort.
The flag at Fort Sumter was lowered by Major Robert Anderson when he surrendered the fort. This was in April of 1861.
