On this day in 1861, South Carolina, after many attempts for a peaceful resolution, began to bombard Ft Sumter to force Union Maj. Anderson to evacuate the property. South Carolina was within her sovereign right to do so.

The assault on Fort Sumter “was considered at the South as a repulse of a threatened assault upon Charleston…”

Bombardment of April 12-13, 1861. A Confederate projectile shattered the flagstaff. Members of the Federal garrison rushed out, amid exploding shells and burning timbers, to retrieve the fallen flag. It was hastily nailed to a wooden pole and re-raised. ❤️🇺🇸 #ftsumter
Today in 1861-three months before the official start of the #CivilWar-cannon fire did minor damage to the #StaroftheWest, a Union merchant ship sailing towards #FtSumter, South Carolina, to deliver supplies. The ship's captain, fearful of losing his ship, abandoned the mission.
@walpoc @oldtimer1968 @amoobrasil @larry_woolfolk @BooDog78391305 I'm no fan of tdy's partisan politics. All toil futilely for causes & reforms that never will get out of a cursed Senate. Today's state of the nation is like what America must've been like in 1860 when Lincoln's 1st inaugural address was ridiculed & #FtSumter was siezed by fools.
07APR1863: Lieutenant of Engineers John Johnson posted to #FtSumter. Was #Engineer-in-charge during 15 months of bombardment, overseeing daily damage repairs and reinforcement efforts to sustain the fort. In 1890 published technical memoir, The Defense Of #Charleston Harbor.
@dennis_reichel @mrpillalamarri @flitedocnm @daveweigel @DemSocialists @WhipHoyer There is already a Republican challenger. The fear is that @NancyFloreen will pull half the democratic party to her. That’s her plan anyway. Rank hypocrisy from one who castigated Sanders supporters for disunity. #FtSumter in a civil war among @TheDemocrats
Standing atop Ft. Sumter, SC. April 12, 1861 Confederate forces began a 34 hour artillery bombardment resulting in the lowering of the Federal flag. It wouldn’t be raised again until early 1865. #Charleston #CivilWar #ftsumter
Decades of tensions (nearly all of which can be traced back to slavery) between North & South boiled over #OnThisDay 157 yrs ago as Confederate forces fired on Fort Sumter and began the Civil War. Over next 4 yrs, 700,000 died and slavery was abolished. #civilwar #ftsumter
Today in 1863-during the #CivilWar-Union batteries & warships began a bombardment of Confederate-held #FtSumter in #Charleston, SC, harbor.
Adventure is out there.
