Learn about the build up to and first battle of the Civil War at Fort Sumter in April of 1861. We will discuss the surprisingly bloodless battle that inaugurated the bloodiest war in American history, and how the city of Charleston and Fort Sumter became a target for Union forces for the remainder of the war.
