EXPLANATION
On April 10, 1861, Brig. Gen. Pierre G.T. Beauregard, became the provisional Confederate forced at Charleston, SC. He was popular because of his command to the U.S. garrison of Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbor to surrender. Unfortunately, commander Garrison Robert Anderson declined it. In the next two days, on April 12, Confederate batteries released fire on the fort, which was unable to hit back effectively. The next day, on April 13, Major Anderson surrendered Fort Sumter. He also evacuated the garrison on the following day.
A continuous attack with bombs, shells, or other missiles of Fort Sumter became the opening assignment of the American Civil War. American Civil War was a civil war fought between the North (the Union) and the South (the Confederacy) from 1861 to 1865. The loyalists of the Union in the North, which is also included some geographically western and southern states, stated support for the Constitution. They opposed fanatics of the Confederate States in the South, who prescribed for states' rights to sustain slavery.
