The firing on Fort Sumter on April 12, 1861, marked the beginning of the American Civil War. It signified the culmination of tensions between the Northern states (the Union) and the Southern states that had seceded from the Union, primarily over issues like slavery and states' rights. The attack by Confederate forces on the federal fort in Charleston, South Carolina, represented a decisive break from the Union and set the stage for a conflict that would reshape the nation. This event galvanized both sides, leading to widespread enlistment and the mobilization of resources for war.
