Fort Sumter was important because it was the site where the first shots of the American Civil War were fired. The fort, located in Charleston Harbor, South Carolina, was occupied by Union forces. However, after the secession of several southern states from the Union, including South Carolina, tensions between the North and South grew. When President Abraham Lincoln sent a supply mission to resupply the fort, the Confederates saw it as an act of aggression and attacked the fort on April 12, 1861. This marked the beginning of the Civil War, making Fort Sumter historically significant.
