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.
