Where the Civil War Began-Fort Sumter is situated on an island in Charleston Harbor, only accessible by boat. Imagine this...South Carolina had seceded from the Union, yet Union forces still occupied Fort Sumter at the entrance of Charleston Harbor. The South demanded that Fort Sumter be vacated. The North refused. Finally, on April 12, 1861, South Carolina Confederate troops from nearby Fort Johnson fired on the fort-the start of a two day bombardment that resulted in the surrender of Fort Sumter by Union troops. With the North's withdrawal, the South held the fort until it was finally evacuated on February 17, 1865. During that time, the fort experienced one of the longest sieges in modern warfare. For almost two years, 46,000 shells, estimated at more than 7 million pounds of metal, were fired at Fort Sumter. For these reasons and more, Fort Sumter remains one of the most significant historic monuments in the United states. Tours depart from 2 locations, Patriots Point which is about 8 miles from the campground, and from downtown Charleston, which is 10 miles from the campground.http://www.fortsumtertours.com
