The Civil War at 150: A JHU Perspective

Five days after the Union garrison at Fort Sumter surrendered to
Confederate troops, the Civil War erupted in Baltimore. Massachusetts
militia, passing through the city en route to the nations capital, were
fired on by Confederate sympathizers as they approached their railroad
station destination. The bullets and resulting havoc left 16 dead and many
more wounded. Historians regard the April 19, 1861, skirmishdubbed the
Pratt Street Riotas the first bloodshed of the four-year conflict.
.
To commemorate the 150th anniversary of the onset of the Civil War, The
Johns Hopkins University will recall the battle of North vs. South in an
online multimedia project in which faculty, JHU Press authors and editors,
alumni and others will share their expertise on the war and its place in
history.
.
The project launches at perspectives.jhu.edu/civilwar on April 12, the
anniversary of the 1861 siege of Fort Sumter, and new postings will appear
in the coming months.

When Fort Sumter was fired on in 1861, modern America was born

April 12, 1861. Capt. George S. James of the South Carolina battalion of
artillery, standing by his stubby gun on the beach, holding his pocket
watch, waiting to open fire
.
In town, on Meeting Street, the bells of white-steepled St. Michael's
church strike 4 a.m. The minutes pass. At 4:30, there is the distant flash
of James's gun. A delayed boom, like a firework on the Fourth of July.
.
And the single shell fired by the fledgling Confederacy is lofted toward
the Union garrison holed up in the brick fort. The last few seconds of the
old America seem suspended for an instant before the shell explodes,
changing the nation forever.
.
"I sprang out of bed," wrote the diarist Mary Chesnut, who was in
Charleston that night, "and on my knees .?.?. prayed as I never prayed
before."
.
From dozens of Confederate guns, shot and shell now rained on Fort Sumter,
"as if an army of devils," a soldier inside recalled later.
.
Few people grasped the ultimate meaning of the crisis that had just
unfolded.
.
Some sensed it would bring war. Many did not. They still believed the
South would be permitted to peacefully separate from the Union.
.
Only a handful realized it might mean freedom for the slaves. The
abolitionist and former slave Frederick Douglass was one.
