April 12 - 14, 1861
At the point when South Carolina withdrew from the Union on December 20, 1860, United States Maj. Robert Anderson and his power of 85 officers were situated at Fort Moultrie close to the mouth of Charleston Harbor. On December 26, dreading for the security of his men, Anderson moved his summon to Fort Sumter, a forcing stronghold amidst the harbor. While legislators and military leaders composed and shouted about the legitimateness and suitability of this provocative move, Anderson's position wound up dangerous. Soon after the initiation of President Abraham Lincoln on March 4, 1861, Anderson announced that he had just a six week supply of sustenance left in the fortress and Confederate persistence for an outside power in its region was wearing slim.

On Thursday, April 11, 1861, Confederate Brig. Gen. P.G.T. Beauregard dispatched helpers to Maj. Anderson to request the post's surrender. Anderson can't. The following morning, at 4:30 a.m., Confederate batteries opened fire on Fort Sumter and proceeded for 34 hours. The Civil War had started! Anderson did not restore the fire for the initial two hours. The fortification's supply of ammo was not suited for an equivalent battle and Anderson needed wires for his detonating shells- - just strong shot could be utilized against the Rebel batteries. At around 7:00 A.M., Union Capt. Abner Doubleday, the stronghold's second in summon, was managed the respect of shooting the principal shot with regards to the fortification.

The terminating proceeded with throughout the day, albeit substantially less quickly since the Union let go planned to preserve ammo. "The smashing of the shot, the blasting of the shells, the falling of the dividers, and the thunder of the blazes, made a disorder of the fortress," composed Doubleday. The stronghold's substantial banner staff was struck and the hues tumbled to the ground and an overcome lieutenant, Norman J. Lobby, boldly presented himself to adversary fire as he put the Stars and Stripes go down. That night, the terminating was sporadic with however a periodic round arriving on or in Fort Sumter.

On Saturday, April 13, Anderson surrendered the stronghold. Fantastically, no officers were slaughtered in fight. The liberal terms of surrender, be that as it may, enabled Anderson to play out a 100-firearm salute before he and his men cleared the post the following day. The salute started at 2:00 P.M. on April 14, yet was sliced short to 50 firearms after a unintentional blast slaughtered one of the heavy armament specialists and mortally injured another. Conveying their worn out flag, the men walked out of the post and boarded a pontoon that carried them to the Union ships outside the harbor. They were welcomed as legends on their arrival toward the North.
