Fort Sumter Decades of growing strife between North and South erupted in civil war on April 12, 1861, when Confederate artillery opened fire on this Federal fort in the Charleston Harbor. Fort Sumter surrendered 34 hours later. Union forces would try for nearly four years to take it back. Visitors without their own boat cannot reach Fort Sumter from Fort Moultrie.
