@dimapez Fast forward to WW2 and the Brits did the exact same thing when preparing the defences of Singapore, history repeating itself.
@dimapez There is an old Spanish Fort guarding the Puerto Rico Harbor of San Juan that actually takes that possibility into account.

Also this is specifically the Fort Sumter flag :)
I thought it was a way to get around YT's political correctness garbage.
Same here.

Venatio lol you’re right
Fort Sumter can still be visited today In Charleston Harbor. You can even see artillery rounds lodged into the walls in some places. Charleston is a great city to visit if you love history.
I've been there, it's really cool and the view is awesome!
People get offended by all the Confederate flags there but it is for Historical purposes not bigoted ones! I love having lived in SC my whole life because it is so rich with history
Yeah it’s a really cool place! I went there a couple of months ago
Yeah I love Charleston went there on my honey moon

Confederates barely hit it ...unions celebrated it if they did ..
That's right
The Civil War defined us as what we are and it opened us to being what we became, good and bad things... It was the crossroads of our being, and it was a hell of a crossroads.

Its not coincidence xD
Exactly. I was playing battlefield 1and then I was interested in ww1. When red dead came out I was interested in the old west, when I started playing war of rights I was in to the civil war

@@tiredtotality4145 I'm still recovering from the horrors I witnessed on the frontlines of that war
I went to Fort Sumter last summer. The wood buildings of the fort were burned down by incendiary rounds fired from the Confederate Cannons. Eventually the American Flag that was flown over Fort Sumter at the beginning of the war was raised back on the fort by the base’s former commander, Robert Anderson, who was a Major at the beginning of the war but soon became a General.
Same I went there too
The walls were just covered in holes and some of the bricks on the inside were destroyed but it still remains in tact

I don’t study for history tests, I just re watch every simple history episode ever
I just like history
I’ve been devouring every American Civil War movie and book I can get my hands on for the last 6 months. Simple History needs to beef up its Civil War videos!! That would be much appreciated!
I live in Charleston, and I love visiting Fort Sumter. It just shows this history of the city and how it went through the war, along with all of the small historical markers around downtown. Thank you for informing me more on the subject.
I bet it sucks to be there during hurricanes and all
General Leopold Horchigli It really does, but me and my family/friends are lucky and none of us have ever suffered damages other than the odd tree or two on the house
I went to Fort Sumter all the time on school trips, it was fun and interesting.
The site that was used by the Confederates to fire on the fort is in downtown Charleston, South Carolina. That area is literally just called "the battery"; like what artillery units are called.
Its a beautiful spot.
Charleston near fort sumter is like the hood now ._.
Did you know Confederate General P.T. Beauregard made his cane out of the wood from the flagpole at Fort Sumter?
That's badass
@Nobody Knows nah we had enough flag poles for our beautiful flag
South in USA should just replace their confederate flag with the surrender flag if you ask me
He is my relative lol
Been with this channel since the very first “WWI: Factions” videos and by now most channels would have run out of ideas and their quality would have gone down but you guys have kept going strong and putting out great content.
Also fun fact the commander in fort sumpter was the artillery professor and teacher at West Point and the confederate commander bombarding Sumter was his student and assistant at West Point
enemy starts firing and we have 0 casualties?
it's a hopeless situation, boys! let's surrender while we still can!
Dude its not the casualties matter,they dont have food supplies and ammo to keep the battle going. What do you expect? Wait for enemy to enter the fort and defend it with bayonets
@Stewart Deel well for theory yes it is possible outcome but 80 infantry with 8 musician inside against maybe a entire battalion is a obvious defeat.
@@metehanarslanoglu3657 it worked out that way for Rourke's Drift, didn't it?
@@metehanarslanoglu3657 well The Americans who landed on Omaha Beach were hopelessly gunned down by German bunkers but that didn't stop them from breaking through The German lines and Great Britain had been bombarded constantly but had kept holding their ground and Doss saved well around 70 men without firing a single bullet. What's these Unionists' excuse? were they on their period?
@@jerichamesclammay3107 i dont know about rouke's drift actually and i get it what you trying to say about d-day and similiar battles and i respcet it but you should understand not every army,battle is same there are too many unknowns in combats.

You guys should do more US Civil War videos.
When Simple History asked for ideas, I suggested Ft Sumter and here it is! U guys ROCK
Your videos are very fun to watch and educational! Keep up the good work!
Yet the south calls it the war of northern aggression
@MrPizzaFou If I simply call my house a foreign country, and nobody recognizes it as such, I can just shoot at anyone who steps on my lawn and expect nothing to happen? Your logic, not mine.
@MrPizzaFou except the confederacy wasn't a country, it was a failed rebellion.
@@crocodileguy4319 it had it's own government and currency. The definition of county is "a nation with its own government, occupying a particular territory." So they were a legit country for 4 years
@@jeepstertj556 a nation to be a nation has to be recognized by other countrues which the confederates weren't
@Abigail Slaughter France and UK supported their independence but only gave them belligerent status and refused to recognize them till they won fearing war with the united states. Thats why it was a civil war not a revolutionary war.
Confederacy: Fires first shots in the war.
Confederacy: "The Union started it. We wanted peace. That's why it's called the 'War of Northern Aggression'."
lol
The Confederacy asked for and then demanded surrender for months prior, the video clearly states this. It is a violation of international law and an act of war to hold military assets in a foreign nation- the south was not the aggressor, the first act of aggression was the Union trying to resupply the fort.
@@moapchan1905 they fired the first shots union made them surrender lol
@@strangerthingsfan5601 If Germany and France sent troops and military assets to fortify military installations in the UK after Brexit, and the UK politely and officially requested their removal several times to no response, and French and German reinforcements continued to arrive under the clause, "You cant secede from the EU", then UK as a sovereign nation would have a right to fire on those assets.
@@moapchan1905 big difference two nations going into a different country. compared to a government owned property Getting told to leave by some confederates
Really gotta love the animations, especially with the Union soldier reloading his musket.
Do Fort Fisher!
And Gettysburg
For the "quarantine" my social studies teacher is having us watch this video thanks Simply history :)
Ok let's get more civil war stories and maybe a look at the trenches of the civil war
It’s a really great place to visit. I’ve been to Moultrie and Sumpter because i live there, but it’s still really cool especially when you take into note of the history of Charleston.
I like to see more American Civil War battles, hopefully even lesser known ones.
But also do more on European battles too, including the Great Northern War.
0 killed, definitely the 10-level coastal fort.
(HOI4 boys will get it.)

Did anyone else realise how in 3:13 the union solider reloading his musket pulls out an iron rod but there’s still an iron rod in the musket
I was raised in s.c. took school field trip to Charleston. We went to fort sumter. Charleston is an awesome city. Would love to live there. I had no idea it was where civil way started

I visited Fort Sumter as a kid. You take like a 5 or 10 minute boat ride to get there. And when you do you can see that the fort is literally stuck in time. You can still see the cannons set up at there spots and the large holes and rubble from enemy cannon fire. Pretty cool place to visit if you’re a history buff.
More Civil War Please! I’d like to show my class a simple history video on the civil war, preferably Gettysburg days 1-3 as that’s the topic we are on in Social Studies right now.
The Civil War would be the deadliest war we would fight. In the end we lost 1 million people military & civilian casualties combined in 4 years of fighting and the most of the south would nearly be destroyed both physically & economically and the scars are still felt today. It would take over half a century to recover from it.
Yeah and because of them helping us they couldn't take care of the West and then bandits became a thing...and red dead redemption was made
Please more about the Civil War. It is one of my favorite points of history.
Yes, they finally did another video on the Civil War. Keep up the good work.

0 Casualties, no deaths?
"THAT'S HOW MAFIA WORKS"
What happened that the confederation lost? Because it looked like they were winning during Civil War.
I think it was the battle of Gettysburg
CptJack PL
The battle of Gettysburg was a turning point in the war , then after a few more battles the confederates were forced to hold defensively and ran low on provisions . That's why rations were part of the treaty signed at apotamox courthouse
Look up emperortigerstars video on the progress of the civil war over the course of the 4 years and you will see that the south was slowly whittled away by loss of territory.
The South ran out of resources
You could also say the lack of intervention of Britain and France contributed to their defeat too
Your animations are getting better and better, keep up the good work!
The school wouldn't let me watch this on my chromebook so here I am-
Hello! Your videos about WW2 are very informative and show us pages of history we have forgot. Please make a video about Joseph Beyrle, the hero of two nations. Not many people know about that very interesting story!

YES! More Civil War vids please
I'm in Sumter, SC right now: I remember reading about this place as a kid
Fun fact that Harpers Ferry was the first conflict between Northerners and Southerners.
Northerners led by John Brown killed 9 southerners at Harpers Ferry. Colonel Robert E Lee and his Militiamen defeated Brown and lost one man.
Fort Sumter is where the American Civil war officially started and no one was killed.
You do realize the United States was still whole right?
Southern Gentleman I see you everywhere lol.
Right on
@General Goldy No. The Battle of Fort Sumter was the start of the Civil War, the Raid on Harper's Ferry was when John Brown was trying to instigate a slave revolt in Virginia. There was an armory at Harpers Ferry and he attacked it to get weapons for the revolt. He was trapped inside when the U.S.Marines responded. Later he was hanged and became a martyr for the abolitionist. Southerners came to believe this was proof the North intended to wage a war of extermination against white Southerners. Brown’s raid thus became a step on the road to war of southern rebellion.
Southerners and Northerners fought each other in Kansas less than a decade before the Civil War.
When's the NKVD Video?
@@leokennedy7624 it stands for Narodny Kommisariat Vnutrennikh Del, which translates to People's Commissariat for Internal Affairs

@@leokennedy7624 Soviet secret police pretty much. The guys who'd take your wife and kids in the middle of the night and torture them until they confessed to being an enemy of the people.
A few years ago I went to Fort Sumter it was a really historical fort
Hey I'm histrionic teacher put your video on in class thank you are the best
Great video have you done a video on Sherman’s march through Georgia?
Welshman2008 I can sympathize with both sides during the conflict but I still hate Sherman and I DISLIKE Lincoln though I don’t believe he should’ve been shot. He was just doing what he thought was right, even though it wasn’t. Edit: grammar
Either the Confederate States were a foreign country, and Lincoln needed Congress to declare war to send and keep troops in Fort Sumter, OR South Carolina was still in the Union, and Lincoln need the permission of the the South Carolina legislature to send more troops. Lincoln clearly violated the US Constitution either way.
cope harder
@@rorycannon7295it is the way of the democrats to blindly follow the constitution.
Even if this war was rather unpopular, it would be nice if you made a history video on the war of 1812

“War of northern aggression!”
Havanadog 7 Exactly. But people will still blame it on the Union.
im not going to give any opinion of any sort, but in the video it said how the union ignored many ultimatums to surrender the fort which was in confederate teritory, ignoreing a ultimatum is agression, because the reason the cnfederates bombarded the fort, was because they ignored the ultimatums
tyfgr t73rgyu The land belonged to the Union. The Confederates later seceded and began the war by bombarding the fort.
@@jacktheboss1896 yes, then the confederates sent letters of ultimatum before they bombarded the fort
tyfgr t73rgyu So what?
Love how the animation started improving a lot since the PaK 40 video
Theuy did not move alot of limbs vefore the pak 40 video. After that, They started moving almost everything to make it look moree lifelike
Fun fact. The Confederates were ordered to aim high as to reduce casualties. They even removed their hats as a sign of respect to the union troops as they passed each other leaving the fort.
There would have been absolutely no battle if Lincoln hadnt tried to resupply the fort, that was the actual first act of aggression.
