Beginning on April 12, 1861, over the course of two days, more than 3,300 shells and cannon balls rained across Charleston Harbor towards Fort Sumter, the first shots fired in the Civil War. Correspondent Anthony Mason visits the fort with bestselling author Erik Larson, whose latest book, "The Demon of Unrest," explores the events leading up to the bombardment and what Larson calls "the single most consequential day in American history."

This was amazing and gave me chills. We just came home from vacation and we were at Fort Sumter! Worth every penny for the ferry ride and tour if you're a history person!!

@marytheresejacksonlutz2533 5 месяцев назад

We loved Fort Sumter and Charleston. I learned so much

@eleanor5117 5 месяцев назад

Gave me chills, too. My old hometown! Walked around that battery area many a time as a child and adult. Moved away in my 40’s. Love where I live now, the North Georgia Mountains - but sights from Charleston still tug at this old Charlestonian’s heart!

@Awakeningspirit20 5 месяцев назад

I have seen Fort Moultrie many times but never Sumter somehow, though you can easily spot it from Charleston! I have a lot of family in Charleston and we used to go every Christmas, though I guess they just weren't fans of the ferry ride or something. I'll get out there at some point.

I just finished “The Demon of Unrest”. The book introduces the reader to interesting, and some previously unknown, characters through their letters and diaries and provides information about the political climate during the months leading to the outbreak of the Civil War. An excellent read.

It is interesting that they fly the flag of the time, rather than today's flag of 50 stars. Not to many parks you can get away with that in.

Thank You CBS Sunday Morning and Erik Larson for this wonderful reminder of a terrible time in our nation's history. As we know, history repeats itself when forgotten, or never learned. The Southern secession over states rights and slavery was extreme as it contradicted our Constitution that President Lincoln reminded us of in his epic Gettysburg Address. The Great Task remains. . . .Will his death and countless others who died for our country be in vain? Those so ill at ease for states rights again, who believe they will Make America Great Again, are clamoring again for Civil War. The new movie of the same name emphasizes what we've seen and heard, especially with the attack on our nation's capitol to overturn the election of 2020. But this not because of a restless demon. This is because of man's urge to power over others, even in God's Name. The Lord refused the temptation to have power over anyone that we might also. In treating one another as we all need to be treated, we can coexist. The Golden Rule has always been The Golden Path thru life. Otherwise, we open the door to the Devil, when we could've asked the Lord's help as He prayed to Our Father.

If there truly are those in the south that want to leave I think they should secede. Before those states leave they should pay the US government back for the support the blue states have given them. The red southern states have been living off the taxes of blue state residents for too long.

I’ve read most of his books, and thought they were all very good. Unfortunately, one chapter into this book, I had to read a comparison of January 6 to the civil war, which is ridiculous! Not to mention the capitalization of the word black, but not white. Why do high profile people inject their politics and turn off half of their audience?

The Union major in charge of the fort looks to be about 20 years older than what I’d expect a major to be, and the Confidante general looks to be about 20 years younger than the average general. What a topsy turvy world the American Revolution was.

@eleanor5117 5 месяцев назад

If you’re talking about the picture of the battlefield dead, search for: “A Harvest of Death is the title of a photograph taken by Timothy H. O'Sullivan, sometime between July 4 and 7, 1863. It shows the bodies of soldiers killed at the Battle of Gettysburg during the American Civil War, stretched out over part of the battlefield.” A real photograph taken during the civil war by Timothy H. O’Sullivan, not AI generated.

@eleanor5117 5 месяцев назад

I’m old. I’ve seen this picture in historical books about the civil war long before the internet, long before AI. It might look surreal because of the stiffness of the bodies. They were there for a while before the pictures were taken. Rigor had set in.

@myradioon 5 месяцев назад

Dude 51,000 men died at the Battle Of Gettysburg where that picture was taken. More deaths in one battle than in some entire wars

@stan4now 3 месяца назад

Please Google historians warning of Civil War and see the new movie of the same name. Charlottesville and the attack on our nation's capitol to overturn the election of 2020 far exceed the student protests of the late 60's and early 70's over Vietnam and Watergate FPOTUS45 is predicting bloodshed if he's not elected in November. This is no idle threat. The Pentagon is warning and preparing for it.
