In what year did Fort Sumter surrender mark the start of the Civil War?

1861

The start of the Civil War is marked by the first armed clash at Fort Sumter in 1861. The Union fort in Charleston Harbor was attacked and then surrendered in April 1861, after Southern states had seceded and formed the Confederacy. That surrender signaled the opening of hostilities between the Union and Confederacy, making 1861 the year the war began. The other years listed don’t mark the beginning: 1865 is when the war effectively ended, while 1848 and 1830 are unrelated to the Civil War’s start.
