The Bombardment at Fort Sumter In the weeks following Lincoln’s election, talk of secession filled the air. December 20, 1860: Abraham Lincoln was asked whether he could support some sort of compromise on slavery. His answer was clear. He would not interfere with slavery in the South. He would even support enforcement of the Fugitive Slave Law. But, Lincoln added, “Let there be no compromise on the issue of extending slavery.” On the same day, South Carolina voted to secede from the United States. The city went wild. Church bells rang and huge crowds filled the streets, cheering. March 4, 1861: Lincoln is sworn in as president. In his inauguration speech, he said that his first duty as president was to keep the nation together. He asked the rebellious states to return to the nation in peace, saying, “In your hands, my dissatisfied fellow countrymen, is the momentous issue of civil war.” April 12, 1861: Firebrands in South Carolina took the decision into their own hands. They opened fire on a federal fort in Charleston, South Carolina, trying to push northerners out. After 36 hours of shelling, northerners inside the fort raised a white flag of surrender.
