The pretty houses, great shopping, and fantastic food of Charleston, are all good reasons to go there, but really we were there for the history lessons. The last lessons Blaze had in American History were about the Civil War and the Civil War started in Charleston. South Carolina was the first state to secede from the union and the first battle of the war was the one at Fort Sumter.
Fort Sumter is on a small island that can only be reached by boat.
