The official start of the Civil War would be the Confederate bombardment of the Union Fort Sumter, which would later be known as the Battle of Fort Sumter. It took place from April 12 to 14, 1861. In response, President Lincoln called for 75, 000 volunteers to suppress the rebellion and 4 other states ceded to the CSA, starting the war.
