he made a army to fight fort sumert
The first "battle" of the Civil War was the shelling of Fort Sumter. Fort Sumter was a fort on an island just off the coast of Charleston, South Carolina. It was held by US troops while the South seceded and formed the Confederacy. President Lincoln tried to send supplies to the fort, and the governor of SC demanded the troops surrender, before the supplies could arrive. When the troops refused, Confederate troops began shooting artillery at the fort. The Union troops in the fort tried to shoot back but didn't have enough troops or guns, so there was no way they could win. The fort surrendered after two days of shelling. Nobody was killed, but during the surrender ceremony, there was an accident that did kill a few men- the first casualties of a long and bloody war.

The demand that Fort Sumter had to surrender was sent by telegraph from the Confederate Secretary of War Walker to Gen. Beauregard on April 10, 1860. The request was delivered to the Union Commander of the fort, Major Anderson, in the late afternoon of the 11th. Governor Frank Pickens had been only confidentially informed, on April 6, by a special messenger sent by the Union Government, that the steamers Pocahontas, Pawnee and Harriet Lane, were going to supply the fort exclusively with provisions.

No. The actions of the main character in the movie were a mixture of real life men such as Francis Marion ("The Swamp Fox"), Thomas Sumter ("the Gamecock") and Andrew Pickens, and some fiction.
The surrender of Fort Sumter
Thomas Sumter, Andrew Pickens, and Francis Marion were all prominent military leaders and guerrilla fighters during the American Revolutionary War, specifically in the Southern theater. They are known for their effective use of unconventional warfare tactics against British forces, earning them the nickname "Swamp Fox" for Marion and the title of "Carolina Gamecock" for Sumter. All three contributed significantly to the American cause by rallying local militias and leveraging their knowledge of the terrain to launch surprise attacks. Their leadership and strategies helped turn the tide in favor of the American colonists in the South.
