The bombardment and capture of the Union's Fort Sumter led directly to what can be called the US Civil War or the War Between the States. The Confederate Congress recognized a state of war with the US in May of 1861 and the US Supreme Court ruled that the war began for the US in July of 1861.Either way, it was clear which side had the most economic and military power. That advantage was held by the Union. At the beginning of the war the Union had defacto control of 23 states and the South controlled eleven states. The North;s population was over double of the South's. And, most of the nation's industrial base was contained in the North.
