Hello there! No picture was provided. However, what I think you are referring to is the Battle of Fort Sumter.
The Battle of Fort Sumter was a complete bombardment in response to South Carolina’s secession from the Union during the Civil War. Abraham Lincoln became President, and South Carolina disliked that and seceded. In addition, they fired the first shots of what became the start of a 4-year war. This was an example of total war because the fighting lasted until the total obliteration of one side. Hope this helps!
