What is going to be our place on the world stage?
In early April, Lincoln gets word that the men in the fort are starving and he needs to send supplies.
And so he sends a ship that has ostensibly no weapons on it.
It's food and material.
And the Confederate government says, this is sitting in the middle of Charleston Harbor.
Charleston is in South Carolina.
South Carolina is in the Confederacy.
And this is an act of war if you send a warship.
And Lincoln says, sorry, this is what I'm going to do.
And on the night of April 12th, when that ship is just off the horizon, then the batteries around Charleston open fire on the fort.
It's then what happens next that is the spark that ignites everything.
And that is on April 15th, Lincoln will call for 75,000 troops to put down the rebellion.
And this is what the Confederacy sees as a declaration of war.
Jefferson Davis, who's the president of the Confederacy, he points to this.
He says, calling for troops to put down a rebellion is an act of war.
We only wish to be let alone, but now you have started it.
So men are rushing to enlist.
They're enlisting in state-level companies, and then those companies are being turned over to the United States or to the Confederacy, as the case may be.
Washington, D.C.
is absolutely abuzz with people.
