Confederates attacked Fort Sumter on April 12, 1861, to assert their sovereignty and control over the territory of South Carolina, which had seceded from the Union. The fort, located in Charleston Harbor, was viewed as a symbol of federal authority in the South. The attack marked the beginning of the Civil War, as Confederate leaders sought to challenge the presence of Union troops and rally support for their cause. Ultimately, the assault aimed to secure vital military positions and demonstrate their resolve against the federal government.
