→Ft. Sumter
After communications between Fort Sumter and Charleston broke down over quietly surrendering the fort, Confederate General P.G.T. Beauregard knew reenforcing the fort was a matter of days. He ordered the fort shelled on April 12, 1861; the fort surrendered on April 14, the single fatality attributed to an exploding cannon fired during the final salute. Major Anderson and his force was allowed to leave on the naval supply transport whose immenent arrival sparked the battle.
