This is a reproduction of the illustration Bombardment of Fort Sumpter, Charleston Harbor 1861 iby Currier and Ives. The Battle of Fort Sumter, a pivotal event that marked the beginning of the American Civil War, unfolded in April 1861 at the harbor entrance of Charleston, South Carolina. Following South Carolina's secession from the Union, Union forces stationed at Fort Sumter found themselves besieged by Confederate troops under the command of General P.G.T. Beauregard. The battle commenced on April 12, 1861, when Confederate forces bombarded the fort. Despite valiant resistance, the Union garrison, led by Major Robert Anderson, surrendered after 34 hours of intense bombardment on April 13. The fall of Fort Sumter galvanized both the North and the South, triggering a widespread call to arms and escalating tensions into a full-scale war that would shape the course of American history for years to come.
