Why was Ft Wagner known as Battery Wagner too?
A fort is totally enclosed with sally ports as an entrance. Battery's are only fortified on 1-3 sides and may have the rear exposed. Wagner was totally enclosed, so it should be named a fort not a battery. It was well fortified and dominated Morris island. This is why the Yankees could not take it from us, we only gave it up when we ran out of fresh water. I feel it was called a battery at the time because it was made of sand and Palmetto logs, not brick and mortar like Sumter and Moultrie. The earthen work was in-genius because it could not be knocked down and the sand dispersed the shells impact. Good ole confederate engineering!

Where did the US Civil War started?
The first battle was on April 12th, 1861 at Fort Sumter, South Carolina. Which started the Civil War.There was no actual declaration of war, since Congress did not recognise the Confederacy as a sovereign nation. (That's also why there was no peace treaty, only an armistice.)The firing of Confederate guns on Fort Sumter is taken as the starting signal. Lincoln responded by calling for volunteer troops, which was the equivalent of declaring war.But many people feel that the opening shots of the civil war were actually fired at Harper's Ferry in 1859 by John Brown.

What happened to fort Sumter south Carolina?
A small Union force led by a respected Army Colonel was caught up in the secession so they decided to do what they could to annoy the south. They moved to a new fort called Sumter on an island in Charleston Harbor. The southern General P.G.T. Beauregard sent to dispatch this force was an ex-student of the Colonel so he offered to let him and his men "Slip away when he wasn't looking." there is a very accurate and reliable article on Wikipedia that goes into more detail than I feel like doing now. Just know that after 2 days of intense shelling no one died.
