Where did the civil war first shot?

The first shot of the American Civil War was fired at Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbor, South Carolina, on April 12, 1861. This marked the beginning of the conflict between the Northern states (Union) and the Southern states (Confederacy). The attack on the fort occurred after South Carolina seceded from the Union, leading to a significant escalation in tensions. The bombardment resulted in the fort's surrender, setting the stage for the four-year war that followed.
