Confederate forces attacked Fort Sumter on April 12, 1861, primarily to assert their control over the region and respond to the secession of Southern states from the Union. The fort, located in Charleston Harbor, remained under Union control, which was seen as a provocation by the Confederacy. The attack marked the beginning of the Civil War, as the Confederates aimed to demonstrate their resolve and unify the Southern states against perceived Northern aggression. The bombardment ultimately forced Union forces to surrender the fort.
