Your answer is correct. Fort Sumter marked the beginning of the Civil War. It was the location where the first shots of the war were fired on April 12, 1861, when Confederate forces attacked the fort to assert their control over the southern states. This event ultimately led to the escalation of tensions and the start of the war between the Union and the Confederacy.
