Battle of Fort Sumter
South Carolina did not like that the Union held the fort and would not let them resupply the fort. The Confederate Army demanded the evacuation of Fort Sumter. At that time the Northern Army refused for that to happen and the Confederate Army opened fire. The Union army ended up surrendering and the Confederates captured the fort, but more importantly the "Civil War" had begun. The Confederates won the battle of Fort Sumter.
