The Battle of Fort Sumter was a bombing carried out between April 12 and 13, 1861, by the army of the Confederate States of America with the intention of expelling the federal troops that occupied the fortification of Fort Sumter, located at the entrance to the bay of Charleston in South Carolina.

Since three months before, Confederate troops were stationed around Fort Sumter preparing for a possible defense of Charleston Bay against an assault by the federal fleet or to carry out a possible attack on the fort.

On April 12, 1861, at 3:20 h. In the morning, the Confederates informed Anderson that an hour later they would open fire on the fort. Anderson rejected Beauregard's petition for capitulation, although he told the Southern messenger that hunger would in any case lead to surrender in a few days if they were not supplied. At 4:30 h. a cannon shot from Fort Johnson on Fort Sumter indicated the beginning of the battle and began the shelling of 43 cannons and howitzers, located at Fort Johnson, Fort Moultrie and Commings Point. Anderson did not reply until after seven o'clock in the morning, time when Captain Abner Doubleday fired on the Confederate battery of Commings Point.

In addition, with a shortage of soldiers, the federal troops only used the guns of the lower levels of Fort Sumter, having very few opportunities to reach the batteries of the forts that controlled the South Carolina militia. Because the United States flag was repeatedly knocked down, the Confederate troops checked regularly to see if the feds had surrendered. The capitulation was not accepted by the federals until 34 hours after the beginning of the bombing. On April 14, the Confederate flag was hoisted in Fort Sumter.

Explain the effects of the National Convention.
Advocard [28]

Answer:

The National Convention was elected to provide a new constitution for the country after the overthrow of the monarchy (August 10, 1792). The Convention numbered 749 deputies, including businessmen, tradesmen, and many professional men. The National Convention was extremely important to the events of the French Revolution. First, the convention was the first government in France based on universal male suffrage. ... Second, the first major act of the convention was to abolish the absolute monarchy and to transform France into a republic. Between September 1792 and the expulsion of the Girondins in June 1793, the Convention wrestled with four significant issues: the revolutionary war, the parlous state of the economy, the fate of the deposed king and the destabilising influence of Parisian radicals. The National Convention was a single-chamber assembly in France from September 20, 1792, to October 26, 1795, during the French Revolution. It succeeded the Legislative Assembly and founded the First Republic after the Insurrection of August 10, 1792.

The most effective tactic the colonists used against the hated taxes was a buying of British goods.
aivan3 [116]

<em>Hi There!!</em>

<em>I think the answer is </em><em>False</em><em>.</em>

<em>Because, I think there was that it was an indirect tax that was hard to protest. related to molasses, which was an everyday item. only required traders to pay the new tax. was an example of taxation without representation.</em>

<em>P.S </em><em>Tell me if this is wrong...</em>

GoodLuck!!
