Charleston, South Carolina - Fort Sumter National Monument HD (2017)
Fort Sumter is a sea fort in Charleston, South Carolina, notable for two battles of the American Civil War. It was one of a number of special forts planned after the War of 1812, combining high walls and heavy masonry, and classified as Third System, as a grade of structural integrity. Work started in 1829, but was incomplete by 1860, when South Carolina seceded from the Union.
The First Battle of Fort Sumter began on April 12, 1861, when Confederate artillery fired on the Union garrison. These were the first shots of the war and continued all day, watched by many civilians in a celebratory spirit. The fort had been cut off from its supply line and surrendered the next day. The Second Battle of Fort Sumter (September 8, 1863) was a failed attempt by the Union to retake the fort, dogged by a rivalry between army and navy commanders. Although the fort was reduced to rubble, it remained in Confederate hands until it was evacuated as General Sherman marched through South Carolina in February 1865.
Fort Sumter is open for public tours as part of the Fort Sumter National Monument operated by the National Park Service.
Charleston is the oldest and largest city in the U.S. state of South Carolina, the county seat of Charleston County, and the principal city in the Charleston–North Charleston–Summerville Metropolitan Statistical Area. The city lies just south of the geographical midpoint of South Carolina's coastline and is located on Charleston Harbor, an inlet of the Atlantic Ocean formed by the confluence of the Ashley and Cooper rivers. Charleston had an estimated population of 134,385 in 2016. The estimated population of the Charleston metropolitan area, comprising Berkeley, Charleston, and Dorchester counties, was 761,155 residents in 2016, the third-largest in the state and the 78th-largest metropolitan statistical area in the United States.
Charleston was founded as Charles Town—honoring King Charles II of England—in 1670. Its initial location at Albemarle Point on the west bank of the Ashley River (now Charles Towne Landing) was abandoned in 1680 for its present site, which became the fifth-largest city in North America within ten years. Despite its size, it remained unincorporated throughout the colonial period; its government was handled directly by a colonial legislature and a governor sent by London. Election districts were organized according to Anglican parishes, and some social services were managed by Anglican wardens and vestries. Charleston adopted its present spelling with its incorporation as a city in 1783 at the close of the Revolutionary War. Population growth in the interior of South Carolina influenced the removal of the state government to Columbia in 1788, but the port city remained among the ten largest cities in the United States through the 1840 census. The only major American city to have a majority-enslaved population, antebellum Charleston was controlled by an oligarchy of white planters and merchants who successfully forced the federal government to revise its 1828 and 1832 tariffs during the Nullification Crisis and launched the Civil War by seizing the Arsenal, Castle Pinckney, and Fort Sumter from their federal garrisons.
Known for its rich history, well-preserved architecture, distinguished restaurants, and mannerly people, Charleston is a popular tourist destination and has received a large number of accolades, including America's Most Friendly [City] by Travel + Leisure in 2011 and in 2013 and 2014 by Condé Nast Traveler, and also the most polite and hospitable city in America by Southern Living magazine. In 2016, Charleston was ranked the World's Best City by Travel + Leisure.

A short 4 hour drive from Greenville, South Carolina is the beautiful, historic city of Charleston, one of the first colonial cities of the thirteen colonies. After arriving late on a Friday night, we had some drinks, partied up for a fresh day around the city. Saturday morning we took a nice carriage tour around the hot spots of the city, walked around to check out some artifacts, the waterfront, and have lunch. Tight on time we set off for Folly Beach to not only take a dip in the water but see for our own eye the Morris Island lighthouse, a lighthouse sitting out several yards at sea. Returning to Charleston, we grabbed dinner and bar hopped for more drinks, one places uniquely being a former church turned bar.
Sunday morning we had a quick bite for brunch and walked around the battery to see some dolphins pop up out of the harbor. From there we caught a ferry to the Civil War fort, Fort Sumter which sits at the end of the harbor. This is the very fort that began the Civil War firing the first shot. After returning to the port we quickly grabbed lunch and crossed the beautiful Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge and headed back to Greenville. This was my first time to Charleston, and I am sure it will not be my last time. :)

Civil War Sub Reveals Human Remains
During conservation of the American Civil War submarine, more clues of the H.L. Hunley mystery are being revealed.
Researchers in a North Charleston, South Carolina, laboratory, on Wednesday unveiled the crew compartment. It had been sealed by more than a century of ocean exposure and encrusted sediment.
Johanna Rivera, one of the conservators, told CNN affiliate WCIV-TV in Charleston, It's that 'wow' moment when you step back and realize what you're doing.
The Confederate Navy's Hunley was the first submarine to sink a ship in battle. But the Hunley also went down, with all eight crew members perishing.

The Battery, Charleston, South Carolina, United States, North America
The Battery is a landmark defensive seawall and promenade in Charleston, South Carolina, famous for its stately antebellum homes. Named for a civil-war coastal defence artillery battery at the site, it stretches along the lower shores of the Charleston peninsula, bordered by the Ashley and Cooper Rivers, which meet here to form Charleston harbor. Historically, it has been understood to extend from the beginning of the seawall at the site of the former Omar Shrine Temple (40-44 East Bay Street) to the intersection of what is now Murray Boulevard and King Street. The higher part of the promenade, paralleling East Battery, as the street is known south of Water Street, to the intersection of Murray Boulevard, is known as High Battery. Fort Sumter is visible from the Cooper River side (High Battery) and the point, as is Castle Pinckney, the World War II aircraft carrier USS Yorktown (CV-10), Fort Moultrie, and Sullivan's Island. Fort Broughton (ca. 1735) and Fort Wilkins (during the American Revolution and War of 1812) occupied White or Oyster Point, so named because of the piles of bleached oyster shells on the point at the tip of the peninsula. In the 18th century, rocks and heavy materials were used to fortify the shore of the Cooper River on the eastern side of the peninsula. In 1838, this area of the Battery, known as High Battery, became a promenade. First used as a public park in 1837, the area now known as White Point Garden became a place for artillery during the American Civil War. In popular speech and in a number of unofficial guidebooks and Web sites, The Battery and White Point Garden are sometimes referred to as Battery Park, but the park and seawall promenade are not regarded by the City of Charleston as a single entity, and the term Battery Park is not an official designation. In 2004, a structural report by the City of Charleston showed that the Battery was suffering serious problems and could fail to protect the southeastern portion of the city during hurricanes. In 2012, the City announced that a $3.2 million restoration project would soon commence at the conjure of High Battery (along East Battery) and Low Battery (along Muury Blvd.).
