The first shots of the American Civil War were fired on April 12, 1861, by Confederate forces at Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbor, South Carolina. The Confederate artillery opened fire on the Union-held fort, marking the beginning of the conflict between the North and the South. This attack followed the secession of several Southern states from the Union and their formation of the Confederate States of America.
