Answer:
The Civil War began and President Davis sent troops to Richmond.
Explanation:
The fighting began on April 12, 1861 with an attack by southerners at Fort Sumter in Charleston Bay, which, after a 34-hour shelling, was forced to surrender. In response, Lincoln declared the southern states rebellious, proclaimed a sea blockade of their coasts, drafted volunteers into the army, and later introduced military obligation. The fighting of the main forces unfolded in the direction of Washington-Richmond.
