Isn’t Ft. Sumter located in Charleston, SC? Major Robert Anderson, commander of the Union forces occupying Ft. Sumter, refused repeated calls to abandon the fort. The Union’s blockade of Charleston harbor was effectively the first shot fired.

The Fort was in an inlet to the river, and was built by the Federal Government. There was not even an island there until it was built.

There was no blockade before the war. lol
