In 2009 we took advantage of a trip to South Carolina for Ethan's wedding to visit some of the historical sites of the south. Among them as Fort Sumter.
Confederate forces fired the first shots of the Civil War upon Federal troops at Fort Sumter at 4:30 a.m. on April 12, 1861. The roots of that conflict are buried deep within the stories of the development of the United States. Fort Sumter would continue to serve as the focal point in Charleston throughout the Civil War.
