I always thought the firing upon Ft. Sumpter was what began teh Civil War, not that they fired upon it “during” the Civil War.

Confederate batteries in Charleston *did* fire on Fort Sumter in 1861, eventually getting the Federal garrison there to surrender. The Confederacy then occupied the fort, which was shelled by Union forces later in the war (1863)...
