One hundred fifty years ago today the bloodiest and most destructive episode in American history, The Civil War, formally began with the bombardment of Fort Sumter (by many of our Citadel cadet forebears) in Charleston Harbor. Below, the first two articles are about that fateful day, and the third is a more general comment about the conflict from Ken Burns. Finally, there is a link to The History Channel’s site on this anniversary of The Civil War.
