The Battle of Fort Sumter marked the opening of the American Civil War. After several Southern states seceded from the Union, Confederate forces demanded the surrender of the federal fort, commanded by Robert Anderson. When Anderson refused, Confederate troops under P. G. T. Beauregard opened fire, bombarding the fort for over 30 hours. Although there were no combat deaths during the bombardment itself, the Union garrison was forced to surrender due to dwindling supplies and overwhelming firepower. The attack galvanized both the North and South, prompting widespread mobilization and transforming a political crisis into a full scale war.
