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.”

Feeling all warm and fuzzy Yankee's
Liberal's go to book… We are the world, we the children… Yea Right!
What irony! The Republican party, once free the America people, will now be the party that will destroy her.
Northern aggression
Would have been fired from or WAS fired from..
America today seems to be repeating history. God knows if we will save the country.
As Donald Trumpf said, Gettysburg was "beautiful"
The Confederates fired on and turned back a supply ship first that was trying to resupply the Fort.
Erik Larson is one of the best! I enjoyed “The Devil in the White City”, “Dead Wake” and “Isaac’s Storm”. Now I’m looking forward to “The Demon of Unrest”.
🇺🇲🫡
Imagine still thinking that it was the South that initiated the war. Propaganda doing its work.
As tragic and brutal as that war was, it had to happen!
A reminder to all the fools of this magnificent country that want to turn us into a fascist dictatorship ,they have forgotten how much blood has been shed so we can live free with all our hard earn rights intact and we have to keep the fight for our freedoms in the next election !
It's amazing how far from the shore the fort is when you see it in person.
5:21 Is clearly an AI generated imagine. Correct me if I’m wrong but I’m certain. Is Sunday morning really getting this lazy?
Our political division today IS ALMOST ENTIRELY CREATED BY THE MEDIA. The talk of “racism” and “racist” has gone up 400-500% in the major media since 2010. Why? It’s only gone down in reality. Elon Musk showed us the graph. It’s an indictment of the media. The media is not reporting news; the media is MAKING news. They are fomenting discontent. Pure evil.
The only other major culprit of our divide: leftist professors (and administrators) in colleges and universities.
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.
3:17 ~ We can agree to disagree… Not even close… Now, unless if you watch YT pundit channels like Tm-cast, etc… that push civil war memes – the rest of Americans, for the most part, get along. This idea of Civil War is virtual, and yes, there are incidents from time to time that reflect animosity on both sides. Let's also realize this virtual structure would in theory be highly promoted by Russia, China, and others who would love to see the United States break apart. It ain't happenning… peace out
Funny how all these stories from the media in this election year are carefully crafted (without outright saying so) to draw parallels to modern today. Like Republicans are leading a charge to divide and take over America. Their propaganda is thinly veiled but dangerous. Typical Marxist tactics. Don’t fall for it my fellow Americans.
CONFEDERACY IS 0-1 & WILL BE 0-2.
He is an outstanding historical fiction author. The Devil in the White City is an amazing read with a ton of fascinating history. One of my favorite books.
600-750k would die during the war, not killed. Disease took the most lives
Can’t wait to read Mr Larson’s new book.
Just finished watching a great bio series on Abraham Lincoln on History channel. It spoke of this fort and it’s great significance.
Those were the MAGA days.
And today we are dealing with the spawn of the Confederacy. They were never punished for their treason and slavery and here we are!
The confederate flag is a treason flag.
The Secessionist state South Carolina bombarded the U.S. fort, Fort Sumter. Fort Sumpter had guarded their largest and most important city, and they bombarded it with thousands of shells made by, and paid for, the U.S. Government. Go figure.
Good book. He only touched on the fact that it was Democrats that wanted slaves, and republicans that freed them.
Traitors that were racists.. There I said it. Stop sugarcoating why the traitors started the US Civil War.
Why not talk about the Free Masons who killed Abraham Lincoln for printing American money for Americans, and not Central Banks. ?
I learned to ride horses from general beauregards great great granddaughter r, who was my mothers best friend. She died in April 2023
No Shogun ??? Neh😎.
His books are fantastic!
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!!
