When Confederate forces began their bombardment of Fort Sumter, the commander of Southern forces was General PT Beauregard. The fort had no choice but to shortly surrender. The irony of this key battle was that the commander of Fort Sumter was Major Robert Anderson. While attending the USMA, West Point, Major Anderson had been one of General Beauregard's favorite instructors.
