Ft. Sumter: Charleston, SC

I returned to the U.S and I decided a few weekends after my return I needed to get back to my Southern roots. What better place than to visit one of the most historical southern cities in the U.S (also a couple of friends live here).
This is where the Civil War began aka 'the war between the states', 'the war of northern aggression', 'war for southern independence', ' war of rebellion'.

To arrive at the site you have to take a ferry around the harbour which is about a 30 minute ride and you walk around the site for about 2 hours.

They covered up where the cannons would have gone through in some areas but this is where the cannons would have been placed.
