High Fortification, No deaths?

Fort Sumter can still be visited today In Charleston Harbor. You can even see artillery rounds lodged into the walls in some places. Charleston is a great city to visit if you love history.

0:24 I didn't realized we once had a flag with the stars clustered like a TIE Fighter. How in many ways indicative of what was to come....

The Civil War defined us as what we are and it opened us to being what we became, good and bad things... It was the crossroads of our being, and it was a hell of a crossroads.

I live in Charleston, and I love visiting Fort Sumter. It just shows this history of the city and how it went through the war, along with all of the small historical markers around downtown. Thank you for informing me more on the subject.

We need a video of the Great Meme War Next.

I went to Fort Sumter all the time on school trips, it was fun and interesting.

The site that was used by the Confederates to fire on the fort is in downtown Charleston, South Carolina. That area is literally just called "the battery"; like what artillery units are called.

Its a beautiful spot.

I’ve been devouring every American Civil War movie and book I can get my hands on for the last 6 months. Simple History needs to beef up its Civil War videos!! That would be much appreciated!

Been with this channel since the very first “WWI: Factions” videos and by now most channels would have run out of ideas and their quality would have gone down but you guys have kept going strong and putting out great content.

I went to Fort Sumter last summer. The wood buildings of the fort were burned down by incendiary rounds fired from the Confederate Cannons. Eventually the American Flag that was flown over Fort Sumter at the beginning of the war was raised back on the fort by the base’s former commander, Robert Anderson, who was a Major at the beginning of the war but soon became a General.

I don’t study for history tests, I just re watch every simple history episode ever

[BamBamBigelow..]

My father took me to that fort @1995. Wasn’t much left but historically badass. You take a ferry to visit.

[jerichamesclammay]

enemy starts firing and we have 0 casualties?


it's a hopeless situation, boys! let's surrender while we still can!

[duelinglectrics]

Also fun fact the commander in fort sumpter was the artillery professor and teacher at West Point and the confederate commander bombarding Sumter was his student and assistant at West Point
