For the Confederacy, it can be argued that the most significant event for its fledgling navy took place on June 30, 1861. It was the date that the CSS Sumter ran the Union blockade on New Orleans. The ship's captain was Raphael Semmes. Captain Semmes thus began his career as a blockade runner and a Union commerce raider.

By April 1861, nearly all forts, post offices, and other federal buildings in the South were controlled by the Confederate states. After the secession of several Southern states from the Union, Confederate forces took over these federal properties, as tensions escalated leading to the Civil War. The most notable example was Fort Sumter in South Carolina, which was attacked by Confederate forces on April 12, 1861, marking the beginning of the conflict.

What historal event happened in south coralina?

One of the most important historical events in the history of South Carolina was in April of 1861. There in the Charleston Harbor were several Federal forts. At 4:10 AM on April 13th 1861, Confederate cannons opened fire on the Federal fort of Sumter. This attack sparked the beginning of the US Civil War. At the time of the attack and the fort's surrender, no formal declarations of war were forth coming from either Washington DC or the Confederate capital of Montgomery, Alabama. The formalities would come later, but clearly a conflict of great proportions was underway.


What was the most significant event in 1877?

Most significant where? If you mean in the US, it was the end of Reconstruction. That meant the elimination of post-Civil War disabilities imposed on the former Confederate states, thereby marking the start of the modern era in US history. This is the reason many college history courses use that date. A typical and common example might be 'US History Since 1877'.
