When did the U.S. Civil War start?

Answer 1

The U.S. Civil War is also known as the War Between the States and the War of Secession. It began April 12, 1861, when Southern troops opened fire on Fort Sumter, a U.S. military post in Charleston, S.C. More Americans were killed in the Civil War than any other war in history. The war divided the people of the United States; in some families brother fought against brother. The war ended 4 years later on April 9, 1865, when Confederate General Robert E. Lee surrendered his ragged army to Union General Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Court House in Virginia.

Answer 2

The American Civil War formally began on April 12, 1861, as a result of the beginning of the bombardment of Union-held Fort Sumter in the harbor of Charleston, South Carolina.
