Because it was in South Carolina, the first state to secede, and that territory had been declared part of the new Confederate States of America.
South Carolina
If six more states secede and Lincoln takes office with Fort Sumter as one of the last remaining Union-held forts in the South, tensions would escalate dramatically. Lincoln would likely face immense pressure to protect the fort and assert federal authority, potentially leading to military confrontations. The situation could catalyze a broader conflict, as Southern states might see any attempt to reinforce or resupply Fort Sumter as an act of aggression, igniting the Civil War earlier than in our timeline. This scenario would significantly alter the dynamics of secession and the Union's response.
Confederates under P.G.T. Beauregard
The first shots of the Civil War were shot in South Carolina, at Fort Sumter, in the bay off Charleston. The Fort was Union occupied, awaiting supply ships that were held up by Confederate ships. The Fort was manned by Anderson, who was under orders to simply hold his position upon hearing of the newly-declared Civil War. The Battle of Fort Sumter opens on April the twelfth, as Confederates under Beauregard bombard the fort in a ring of fire. The battle ends in Union surrender but merely begins a war of terrible proportions.
Confederates won the fort. Fort Sumter was on April 12-13 of 1861. The fort was owned by the United States of America and garrisoned by US troops until forced to surrender to southern forces under P.G.T Beauregard.
The Union forces at Fort Sumter were under the command of Major Robert Anderson.
The fort was under union control before it was attacked by the south (south Carolina) and began the civil war.

South Carolina
Confederate forces attacked Fort Sumter on April 12, 1861, primarily to assert their control over the region and respond to the secession of Southern states from the Union. The fort, located in Charleston Harbor, remained under Union control, which was seen as a provocation by the Confederacy. The attack marked the beginning of the Civil War, as the Confederates aimed to demonstrate their resolve and unify the Southern states against perceived Northern aggression. The bombardment ultimately forced Union forces to surrender the fort.
After coming under Confederate artillery fire, the Union garrison was evacuated, and Lincoln retaliated by calling for 75,000 volunteers for the Union army.
they were under the control of (The Soviet Union) hince the word (satellite)
Fort Sumter was fired upon by multiple Charleston Harbor shore batteries and one floating battery, under the command of General PGT Beauregard, after South Carolina seceded from the Union. As to who won....that's complicated. The Union soldiers in Fort Sumter had no chance of winning, and an attempt to relieve the fort by sea failed. A deal was struck and the Union was permitted to withdraw, leaving Fort Sumter in Confederate hands. Yet, the Confederacy lost the war, and the attack on Fort Sumter provided the justification for all future military action which the Union would take, as the Confederacy had fired first.
