The first federal outpost attacked by the Confederates was Fort Sumter, located in Charleston Harbor, South Carolina. The attack began on April 12, 1861, marking the start of the American Civil War. Confederate forces, under Brigadier General P.G.T. Beauregard, bombarded the fort, leading to its surrender by Union Major Robert Anderson. This event galvanized both the North and South, setting the stage for the conflict that would follow.
