On April 12, 1861, the long-simmering tensions between the American
North and South exploded as Southern troops in the seceding state
of South Carolina fired on the Federal forces at Fort Sumter in
Charleston harbor. The battle of Fort Sumter marked the outbreak of
Civil War in the United States. The attack provoked outrage in the
North, consolidated support for the newly inaugurated President
Lincoln, and fueled the onset of the war that would consume and
reshape the country. In this concise narrative, Wesley Moody
explores the long history of tensions that lead to the events at
Fort Sumter, the details of the crisis and battle, the impact of
Fort Sumter on the unfolding Civil War, and the battle's place in
historical memory. Supplemented by primary documents including
newspaper coverage, first-person accounts, letters, and government
documents, and supported by a companion website, this book provides
students with a nuanced understanding of both the long-term and
immediate origins of the American Civil War.
