The first U.S. Civil War, known as the American Civil War, began in 1861 primarily in the Southern states. The war's first major conflict occurred at Fort Sumter in South Carolina on April 12, 1861, when Confederate forces fired upon the Union-held fort. The war ultimately spanned multiple states, but it was the Southern states that seceded and formed the Confederacy, leading to widespread battles across the region.
