What was the Attack of Fort Sumter?
The South seceded from the Union. In their view, this made Fort Sumter part of their territory, being held by Union forces. They demanded that the Union soldiers surrender the fort.

This was taking to position that the Union was still the owner of the territory. South Carolina took this to be a provocation because it denied their rights to their own territory. If they were no longer part of the Union, then the Union could not have forces on their land. They began shelling to make this point.
