On April 12, 1861, Confederate batteries opened fire on Fort Sumter, and both sides discovered that their calculations had been catastrophically wrong. The South thought the North wouldn't fight. The North thought the rebellion would collapse quickly. Both miscalculated because neither understood the true costs of the commitments they were making.
Major Robert Anderson, commanding Sumter's tiny garrison, understood something both sides would learn: once you start something, you must be prepared to see it through. He surrendered with honor after 34 hours, his duty fulfilled.
