Charleston was bombed during the Civil War primarily because it was a strategic Confederate stronghold and a key port for the Confederacy. The Union aimed to weaken the Confederate supply lines and morale by targeting major cities, and Charleston, being the site of the first shots fired in the war at Fort Sumter, was particularly significant. The bombardment was part of a broader strategy to capture the city and disrupt Confederate operations. Ultimately, the Union's goal was to cripple the Confederacy's ability to sustain the war effort.
