The American Civil War is still referred to by historians as one of the bloodiest stains on the nation’s sociopolitical landscape. From beginning to end, the normal fanfare of atrocities that any war brings such as poverty, starvation, and bloodshed were made more gruesome by the reality that neighbors were fighting neighbors and brothers raising arms against one another. Caught between both sides was an entire race of people; though there were many political ideologies involved, the issue of slavery and the rights of African Americans lit the fuse and kept the fire burning. Incidents involving the terrorizing of black Americans were numerous throughout the course of the Civil War, though none was more controversial than the Confederate

After several months of battles between the north and the south in several states, including North Carolina, Virginia, Missouri, Kentucky and Tennessee, the war reached Florida in 1861. The first battle to reach Florida occurred when there was a standoff at Fort Pickens. When Florida seceded from the Union, there were Union soldiers stationed at Fort Pickens that were asked to surrender. A force of almost 1,000 volunteer soldiers landed on Santa Rosa Island with the intent of raiding the outlying defenses and camps near Fort Pickens. General Richard H. Anderson led these soldiers. Mainly the Sixth New York Infantry Regiment defended the forts and camps. Soon after the Confederates burned and ransacked the Union camp, reinforcements were sent from Fort Pickens to assist the confused Union soldiers. The Confederates had 18 killed, 39 wounded, and 30 imprisoned soldiers, while the Union had 14 killed, 29 wounded, and 20 imprisoned. By March 1862, the Confederates completely withdrew from the area. This battle became known as the Battle of Santa Rosa Island because the union troops landed on Santa Rosa Island, four miles east of Fort Pickens.

The British being in South Carolina caused a civil war in the colony and the colony was deeply divided between Loyalist and Patriots. During the battle both sides used the land to their advantage by using the water and things to help them. The British came in from different directions to attack. The city was such a big deal because of it being along the coast. Being along the coast of the Atlantic Ocean would help them do many things easier like ships being able to unload right at the town and it would be easier to transport soldiers. The British wanted Charleston so they could turn it into a war base.
