Charleston, South Carolina, was a hotbed of secession at the start of the American Civil War and an important Atlantic Ocean port city for the fledgling Confederate States of America. The first shots against the Federal government were those fired there by cadets of the Citadel to stop a ship from resupplying the Federally held Fort Sumter. Three months later, the bombardment of Fort Sumter triggered a massive call for Federal troops to put down the rebellion. Although the city and its surrounding fortifications were repeatedly targeted by the Union Army and Navy, Charleston did not fall to Federal forces until the last months of the war. Charleston was devastated.

  • Charleston (Carolina del Sud) nella guerra di secessione americana fu uno dei primi e principali focolai delle origini della guerra di secessione americana; allo scoppio della guerra civile divenne uno dei maggiori scali portuali affacciati sull'Oceano Atlantico per i nascenti Stati Confederati d'America. I primi colpi del conflitto saranno quelli sparati dagli allievi ufficiali della per impedire ad una nave inviata a portare i necessari rifornimenti alla guarnigione federale asserragliata a Fort Sumter di attraccare.
