History Of Civil War Collectibles by Victor Epand
On April 12, 1861 the Confederate army under General Pierre Gustave Toutant Beauregard attacked a United States military base at Fort Sumter, which was located in South Carolina and the Civil War began. After thirty four long hours of being bombed and fired at, the people finally surrendered by waving a white flag.
President Abraham Lincoln responded to this vicious attack by calling upon a large number of Union army volunteers to help defend the North from the Confederate army. The war between the states was born and in many cases brother fought brother and family fought family. This great war tore our beloved nation apart and destroyed a great many states that was in its path of destruction. During the first year of this horrible war, the Union army took control of all the border states and proceeded to establish a naval blockade of the South.
The Confederate army and the Union Army both massed their armies and resources in preparation for the upcoming battles. Casualty numbers in all battles of the Civil War were unprecedented in the history of United States military. The goal of this horrible goal was focused around the Emancipation Proclamation set by President Abraham Lincoln in 1861, which ended the practice of the southern states owning slaves. This upset the southern states and they retaliated by attacking Fort Sumter in South Carolina. Even to this day, there are still people within the southern states who hold the confederate state of mind in their hearts.
