The fort that the Confederates fired on to start the Civil War was Fort Sumter. Located in Charleston Harbor, South Carolina, it was attacked on April 12, 1861, marking the beginning of the conflict. The assault on Fort Sumter led to the mobilization of troops and the escalation of tensions between the Northern and Southern states.
