On what target did General Pierre Gustave Toutant Beauregard order his Confederate gunners to open fire?
Most famously, Fort Sumter, the US Army garrison on its tiny island in Charleston Harbour - taken as the first shots of the war.
He was also at First Bull Run and Shiloh, and no doubt ordered plenty of artillery fire at the enemy in both of those battles too.
