    The War Officially Begins By Robert Jenkins, July 7, 2020 blueandgrayeducation.org Bombardment of Fort Sumter | Currier & Ives On Wednesday, April 10, 1861, Confederate Gen. Pierre Gustave Toutant (P.G.T.) Beauregard, a French Creole from New Orleans, Louisiana, who was in command of the provisional Confederate forces at Charleston, South Carolina, demanded the surrender of the Union garrison of Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbor. The Federal Commander, Maj. Robert Anderson, had taught artillery tactics at West Point where the French Creole was one of his favorite pupils. Anderson, who was born at a place called “Soldier’s Retreat, Kentucky,” refused. The crisis in Charleston Harbor began on December 26, 1860, when Major Anderson moved his small force of 80 men out of the other forts surrounding the harbor to Fort Sumter, which was located at the mouth of the harbor and surrounded by water. Anderson made his move in response to the action of the South Carolina Legislature to become the first state to secede from the Union on December 20, but his refusal to voluntarily surrender the fort and his defiant act of flying the Stars and Stripes over the harbor infuriated the Confederates, who felt that Anderson should peacefully vacate Charleston and board a Federal ship for the North. Maj. Robert Anderson | National Archives Gen. P.G.T. Beauregard | National Archives Prior to his departure from office, U.S. President James Buchanan had tried to reinforce and resupply Anderson using the unarmed merchant ship, Star of the West, but this failed when the ship was fired upon by shore batteries on January 9, 1861.

  • The Skirmisher
    THE SKIRMISHER CIVIL WAR TRUST THE STORM AFTER THE CALM: 1861 VOLUME 5 THINGS FALL APART The new year of 1861 opened with secession weighing heavily on the American mind. Citing abuses of constitutional law, plans for the abolition of slavery, and a rigged 1860 presidential election, the state of South Carolina had dissolved its bonds with the Union less than two weeks before. Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, and Louisiana left by the end of January, seizing a number of Federal arsenals as they went. Northerners were agog at the rapid turn of events. Abraham Lincoln refused to surrender Federal forts in Confederate territory, but their garrisons would starve without fresh provisions. The new president, only 60 days into his first term, sent the steamer Star of the West to resupply Fort Sumter in the Charleston, South Carolina harbor. Charleston’s cannons opened fire on the ship, turning it away at the mouth of the harbor. The brief salvo showed the depth of feeling in the Rebel states. Texas left the Union, even though Texas governor Sam Houston refused to take the secession oath, telling his citizens South Carolina seceded from the Union with that “you may, after a sacrifice of countless millions of treasures and hundreds of thousands great fanfare. (Library of precious lives, as a bare possibility, win Southern independence…but I doubt it.” of Congress) In February, the newly-named Confederate States of America held its first constitutional convention. The Confederate States Army took shape, and quickly forbade any further resupplies of Federal forts. The Fort Sumter garrison was very low on food.

The proposal died in committee and shortly thereafter Davis resigned from Congress to lead the red-shirted First Mississippi Rifles to war and (~~-ll glory in Mexico. Now it was the morning of April 10, 1861, and Davis was President of the newly proclaimed Confederate States of America. As he met with his cabinet in a Montgomery, Alabama hotel room he had good reason to regret the failure of that resolution of fifteen years ago. For had it passed, he would not have had to make the decision he was about to make: Order Brigadier General P. G. T. Beauregard, commander of Confederate forces at Charleston, South Carolina to demand the surrender of the Federal garrison on Fort Sumter in Charleston harbor. But before Davis made this decision, other men had made other decisions -- decisions which formed a trail leading to that Montgomery hotel room on the morning of April 10, 1861. The War Department'~cision In a sense the first of those decisions went back to 1829 when the War Department dumped tons of granite rubble brougi1t from New England on a c.andspit at the mouth of Charleston harbor. On the foundation so formed a fort named after the South Carolina r - 2 - Revolutionary War hero, Thomas Sumter, was built.

  • Fort Sumter Visitor Education Center Exhibit Text
    Fort Sumter Visitor Education Center Liberty Square Charleston, SC Exhibit Text February 2002 What brought the Nation to civil war at Fort Sumter? When the Civil War finally exploded in Charleston Harbor, it was the result of a half-century of growing sectionalism. Escalating crises over property rights, human rights, states rights and constitutional rights divided the country as it expanded westward. Underlying all the economic, social and political rhetoric was the volatile question of slavery. Because its economic life had long depended on enslaved labor, South Carolina was the first state to secede when this way of life was threatened. Confederate forces fired the first shot in South Carolina. The federal government responded with force. Decades of compromise were over. The very nature of the Union was at stake. 2 • Colonial Roots of the Conflict, p.3 • Ambiguities of the Constitution, p.6 • Antebellum United States, p.11 • Charleston In 1860, p.16 • South Carolina Declares Its Independence, p.19 • Fort Sumter -Countdown to Conflict, p.24 • Major Anderson's Garrison Flag, p.28 • Fort Sumter Today, p.29 Colonial Roots of the Conflict Regional differences began early Every freeman of Carolina shall have absolute power and authority over his negro slaves.

Ruffin was perhaps the most eminent southern authority on agriculture in the twenty years preceding the Civil War and his experiments in soil fertility, described in his Essays on Calcareous Manures and in the columns of the Farmers’ Reg- ister which he edited, brought an agricultural renaissance to his native Virginia. Ruffin early became convinced that the interests of the agricultural South demanded that she cut loose from the Industrial North and form a Southern Confederacy. So ardent were his emotions on the subject that, at the first signs of secession, he hastened to South Carolina to witness her secede and then travelled down to Tallahassee to be present when Florida should withdraw from the Union.

  • Timeline 1861
    CIVIL WAR TIMELINE 1861 Early 1861 Although the country has feared war for years, no one truly expects the horror the Civil War will become – in fact, South Carolina Senator James Chesnut boldly promises to drink all the blood that might be shed as a result of secession. He could never have imagined that in the South, between 1861 and 1865, three out of four white men of military age will take up arms . or that twice as many soldiers will die of disease as of wounds of battle. As one Iowa veteran would later observe, dying of illness offered “all of the evils of the battlefield with none of its honors.” [Faust, 4] Jan. 1 President-elect Lincoln declares slavery in Confederate states unlawful. “ Louisiana Senator Benjamin’s statement that “The South will never be subjugated” is met with “disgraceful applause, screams and uproar” by the crowds in the Senate gallery. [New York Times, p. 7] Rumors continue to circulate about Lincoln’s cabinet appointments. Fortifications in Charleston’s harbor are increased as tension mounts. st “ TN “Jan. 1 finds the American Eagle in great distress. .The politicians cannot save the Union, the people are divided, business [is] stagnant & nothing but the powers of Almighty God can save us from that destruction to which we are so rapidly hastening.” [Diary of William L.B. Lawrence, Nashville attorney] Jan. 2 South Carolina seizes inactive Fort Johnson in Charleston Harbor. The governor of North Carolina sends troops to seize Fort Macon, the forts at Wilmington, and the U.S. Arsenal at Fayetteville.
