The firing on Fort Sumter by Confederate gunboats- is generally considered the opening round of the War. As radio and teletype ( telegraph did exist- and was revved up by the song writers- Battle Hymn has an oblique reference to ( The dim and flaring lamps) suggesting alternating dots and dashes in a code pattern of light.- signalk trouble aside it is not possible to accurately place the LAST battle of the Civil War as there were Naval engagements that may have occured after the cease-fire at the Appomattox Court House- an appropriate place to end the war.
