How did the Civil War start?

Answer 1

The US Civil War began on 12 April 1861 at 4:30 am when confederate forces in Charleston, South Carolina, fired on Union forces holding Fort Sumter, which was a Federal Fort located in Charleston Harbor. The bombardment lasted 34 hours and resulted in Union evacuation and takeover of the Fort by the Confederacy. One Union soldier died after the battle while firing a cannon salute as part of the evacuation. One Confederate soldier bled to death after being wounded by a misfiring cannon during the battle.

Although most of the Confederate states had declared their secession from the Union before the Battle of Ft. Sumter, no shots had been fired, the mail continued to be delivered in both directions, as did telegraph messages and rail service. After Sumter was captured, the Union increased its military strength to recapture the fort, so the war continued and expanded.

To this point the problem was a "rebellion". The Confederacy did not recognize that a state of war existed until later. The Confederate Congress passed an act on May 6, 1861 that a state of war between the Union and the Confederacy. The US Supreme Court ruled the Civil War began in July, when Lincoln addressed Congress and asked for more troops and funding for the war.
