Where was the opening confrontation of the Civil War?

Answer 1

The American Civil War did not erupt into armed conflict (or formal war) until months after the first states seceded from the Union. It was not until April of 1861, in Charleston (South Carolina) Harbor, that the first confrontation occurred, which also sparked the beginning of the war itself. This was the brief battle centered on Fort Sumter, the Union-held fort guarding the harbor's entrance.

Answer 2

What started the Civil War was the bombing of Fort Sumter. President Lincoln was resupplying Fort Sumter, a Union base located in the south, and told the south that he was only resupplying it and if they attack then they were the ones to start the war and they attacked with bombs. But the first battle of the civil war was the first battle of bull run.

The firing upon Fort Sumter, which came after Lincoln had declared that he would continue to supply the fort and dispatched troops to keep it in Union control after the South had claimed control.

Answer 4
