Fort Michilimackinac was located between Lake Superior and Lake Huron. Established by the French in the early 18th century, it served as an important fur trading post and military outpost. Its strategic position allowed control over the trade routes and interactions between Native Americans and European settlers. Today, the site is preserved as a historic park in Michigan.
The Confederates - on the face of it - because they drove off the Union garrison and occupied the fort. Four years later, they might have wished they'd held their fire! (These were the opening shots of the Civil War.)
Major forts in Canada for the fur trade were strategically located along key waterways and trade routes. Notable examples include Fort William on the Kaministiquia River in Ontario, which served as a key hub for the North West Company, and Fort Vancouver on the Columbia River, which facilitated trade with the Pacific Northwest. Other significant sites included Fort Michilimackinac in Michigan and Fort Chipewyan in Alberta, both pivotal for connecting various trade networks across the continent. These forts were essential for the storage, processing, and distribution of furs.

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.
