What city was considered a hotbed of the Confederacy in a border state during the Civil War?
During the Civil War, numerous towns, cities, and regions in the border states were filled with Confederate sympathizers. Missouri, in particular, was a deeply divided border state. The city of Baltimore, however, was not only home to numerous Confederate sympathizers; it was also the scene of a violent riot in April of 1861. Instigated by secessionist-minded residents as Union troops marched through the city's streets, it resulted in sixteen deaths and many more wounded.

What was outcome of the battle of fort Sumter?
The Union commander, Major Anderson, evacuated the fort, the Confederates occupied it, and Lincoln took this as an act of rebellion. He could not actually declare war, and at that time only the Senate was expected to have this responsibility. But he called for volunteer troops to put down a 'rebellion'. Four slave-states, which had been undecided, then voted to join the Confederacy. The Confederate Congress stated in May of 1861 that the Confederacy and the US were in a state of war. A US Supreme Court decision in 1862, stated that a state of war existed between the states when President Lincoln convened Congress to ask for funds for troops and supplies. This happened in early July, 1861. As an aside, Major Anderson had been one of Confederate General PT Beauregard's favorite instructor at West Point.

The most important of the border states was?
Kentucky, because it was the only one invaded by a Confederate army that was able to set up a Confederate government - although that government collapsed when the army had to retreat. Missouri was the scene of much guerrilla combat, but there was little risk of it actually joining the Confederacy. Maryland remained a great worry to Lincoln, because it largely surrounded Washington. But he had jailed its pro-Southern leaders (unlawfully) at the beginning of the war.
