Western Barracks and Parade, Battle of Fort Sumter, 15th April 1861 (b / w photo)
1555253 Western Barracks and Parade, Battle of Fort Sumter, 15th April 1861 (b/w photo) by American Photographer, (19th century); Collection of the New-York Historical Society, USA; (add.info.: The Battle of Fort Sumter (April 12-14, 1861) was the bombardment and surrender of Fort Sumter, near Charleston, South Carolina, that started the American Civil War. Following declarations of secession by seven Southern states, South Carolina demanded that the US Army abandon its facilities in Charleston Harbor. On December 26, 1860, Major Robert Anderson of the U.S. Army surreptitiously moved his small command from the indefensible Fort Moultrie on Sullivans Island to Fort Sumter, a substantial fortress controlling the entrance of Charleston Harbor. An attempt by U.S. President James Buchanan to reinforce and resupply Anderson, using the unarmed merchant ship Star of the West, failed when it was fired upon by shore batteries on January 9, 1861. South Carolina authorities then seized all Federal property in the Charleston area, except for Fort Sumter.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Western Barracks and Parade during the Battle of Fort Sumter on April 15,1861. Taken by an American photographer in the 19th century, this historic image is now part of the collection at the New-York Historical Society in the USA. The Battle of Fort Sumter marked a significant turning point in American history as it ignited the start of the Civil War. With seven Southern states declaring secession, South Carolina demanded that the US Army abandon its facilities in Charleston Harbor. In response, Major Robert Anderson secretly moved his command from Fort Moultrie to Fort Sumter to maintain control over Charleston's entrance. President James Buchanan's attempt to reinforce and resupply Anderson failed when shore batteries fired upon an unarmed merchant ship called Star of The West on January 9,1861. Following this incident, South Carolina authorities seized all Federal property except for Fort Sumter. Each mount accompanying this photo bears a label with a detailed description and date while also featuring an autographed approval note by Confederate Brigadier General Pierre T. Beaureguard—a symbol of victory for their cause. Preserved by Bridgeman Images and made available through Fine Art Finder, this print offers viewers a glimpse into one of America's most pivotal moments—the beginning stages of a war that would shape its future forever.
