Fort Sumter
At the beginning of the American Civil War, two major battles were the First Battle of Bull Run (July 1861) and the Battle of Fort Sumter (April 1861). The Battle of Fort Sumter marked the war's official start when Confederate forces fired on the Union-held fort in Charleston Harbor. The First Battle of Bull Run, the first major land battle, showcased the war's brutality and the unpreparedness of both sides, resulting in a Confederate victory and dispelling the Union's hopes for a quick victory.
The first naval battle of the Civil War happened on April 13, 1861. This naval battle took place at Fort Sumter.
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.
The significant event that took place at Fort Sumter was the beginning of the American Civil War. On April 12, 1861, Confederate forces fired on the Union-held fort in Charleston Harbor, South Carolina, after President Abraham Lincoln's decision to resupply it. The attack led to the fort's surrender and marked the official start of hostilities between the North and South. This confrontation symbolized the deep divisions in the nation over issues such as states' rights and slavery.
