Ft. Sumter was not a war. It was the first incident in the civil war. On April 12, 1861 the Confedates fired on the island where the fort was located in Charleston, SC harbor. The union army surrendered the fort the next day. These were the first shots of the war.

The Union attacked Fort Sumter in April 1861 because it was one of the few remaining federal forts in Confederate territory. The Confederate government considered it an illegitimate presence and demanded its surrender, and when the fort's commander, Major Robert Anderson, refused, the Confederates began bombarding the fort. The Union attempted to resupply and reinforce the fort, but ultimately surrendered after two days of fighting. The attack on Fort Sumter is considered the start of the American Civil War.
