Fort Sumter, Charleston, South Carolina























These aren't replicas, they are the actual cannons that were used







Fort Sumter























We took a boat over to see Fort Sumter National Monument, where the civil war began. The opening shots of the Civil War were fired on April 12, 1861. The walls are five foot thick brick walls and approximately 50 feet above water. It was multi-tiered and was reduced largely to rubble during the Civil War.
