Abraham Lincoln has been the president for just a month. Fort Sumter off Charleston, South Carolina and Fort Pickens off Pensacola, Florida are besieged. On April 12, General Beauregard begins the bombardment of Fort Sumter. Major Anderson is out of supply. Major Anderson agrees to evacuate Fort Sumter. Abraham Lincoln responds. Lincoln calls for 75,000 volunteers. He establishes a naval blockade against the cotton south. Volunteers are reporting to Washington to protect the capital city. The 6th Massachusetts is attacked while transferring trains in Baltimore, Maryland. A mob attacks the Union soldiers. The first Union soldiers are killed in action here. Pro-Confederate mobs destroy the rail line north of Baltimore, and Washington’s telegraph cables are cut. Virginia secedes, becoming the first state in the upper south to leave the union. There are fears that Maryland will follow, and the capital will be lost. Norfolk’s naval yard is captured by rebels under General Taliaferro after the US scuttled many ships there. Thomas Jackson takes Harpers Ferry, but the United States was able to destroy the arsenal before the rebels arrived. However, Maryland rejects secession. Benjamin Butler lands Union soldiers at Annapolis, Maryland, and he begins to reestablish communications for the capital. The Civil War is now underway. A short film by Jeffrey Meyer.
