Seize of Fort Sumter
Fort Sumter was a fortification in the middle of the Charleston harbor. It stood on
about 109,000 tons of rock that made up a 2.5-acre artificial island. The brick fort rose
above the harbor’s waters, and was able to mount 135 guns and provide living space
for 650 officers and soldiers. This plan allowed for four walls to put up three tiers of
guns directed at the channel, and for the gorge wall to mount guns on the top of that.
In December 1860, the fort was 90 percent complete, but construction stopped, and
never finished.

In the morning at 4:30 a.m. on April 12, Confederates opened fire on Fort Sumter
continuously for 34 hours.
During this time the temperature was approximately 63 degrees Fahrenheit, and it
was mostly cloudy with some sun during the battle.
At about 7:00 A.M., the Union Capt. Abner Doubleday, the fort's second in
command, fired the first shot in defense of the fort.
Anderson wanted possession of the unfinished Fort Sumter. In a December 9, 1860, report from

Fort Moultrie, he wrote, “Fort Sumter is a tempting prize, the value of which is well known to
the Charlestonians, and once in their possession, with its ammunition and armament and walls
uninjured and garrisoned properly, it would set our Navy at defiance, compel me to abandon

this work, and give them the perfect command of this harbor.”

supplies so that no supplies could get
to the fort.
Impact of tactics
 Maj. Robert Anderson and his force of 85 soldiers only had a six week supply of
food left in the fort.
 The supply of ammunition was not enough for an equal fight and Anderson also
didn’t possess fuses for his exploding shells, only solid shot could be used against
the Rebel batteries.
 The Union men where out-gunned, they could not do much damage to the
Southern troops.
 There were an estimated 500 Confederates at the Battle of Fort Sumter. When
Lincoln tried to re-supply Fort Sumter all attempts failed, because the
Confederates blocked the way of supplies so that no supplies could get to the fort.

Fort Sumter

• It was a Confederate victory and it started the
Civil War, which was the bloodiest war in U.S.
history.
