The Confederates surrounded Fort Sumter to assert their control over the strategic location in Charleston Harbor, South Carolina, and to challenge the presence of Union troops in the South. After several Southern states seceded from the Union, Fort Sumter became a symbol of federal authority, and its capture was seen as essential for the Confederacy. The blockade of the fort aimed to cut off supplies and reinforcements, ultimately leading to the first shots of the Civil War when Union forces refused to surrender. This confrontation marked the beginning of the conflict between the North and South.
