Blue swaying waves. Flag fluttering high. Guarding the entrance, nodding to passing boats. But there were cannons inside. Then, a major who would not surrender. And excited Rebels on the shore, waiting to do a little target practice. * Fort Sumter in the 1850's offered a peaceful scene in Charleston Harbor. But on April 12-14, 1861, this South Carolina location became the target of the opening shots of the Civil War.
Men in blue. 1865. Appomattox. Terms of surrender. Waiting, hoping, praying this will signal an end to their fight.
