The very first weapon fired was a ceremonial cannon from The Citadel. Cadets from the college dragged the cannon out to the waterfront where South Carolina militia were threatening to fire on Fort Sumter. The cadets fired on the fort and the Union forces fired back. The militia joined in and managed to set the fort afire. One Union soldier was killed. The fort surrendered, marking the beginning of the war. The Citadel cadets today remain proud of starting the shooting in the Civil War.
