Best Answer

South Carolina - appropriately, since it had been the first state to secede.

Fort Sumter was a Union garrison on a tiny island in Charleston harbour. When the Confederates fired on it, the garrison was safely evacuated, and Lincoln effectively declared war by calling for 75,000 volunteer troops.
