The first place I decided to visit is the Battle of Fort Sumter. Fort Sumter was the first battle of the Civil War. The fort was in Charleston Harbor. The Confederates demanded that the Union moves out of the harbor. The Union refused and stayed where they were. The Confederates started a siege on Fort Sumter. Union soldiers defended the fort for 34 hours until they were forced to surrender. John changed the flag in the drawing during the movie from the Union flag to a white flag.
