{"Image DocumentName": "The Coming of War", "Image ImageDescription": "Soon after Lincoln\u2019s inauguration, the US military stationed at Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbor asked for reinforcements and supplies. The Confederate officials called for US military to leave all installations in the South. Lincoln refused to allow Fort Sumter to be abandoned to the Confederate Government and attempted to resupply the fort to force the hand of the South. Confederate forces bombarded the fort from April 12-14th of 1861 until the defenders of the fort surrendered. Lincoln called for 75,000 volunteers to subdue the rebellion in the South. Virginia, North Carolina, Arkansas and Tennessee declared secession rather than send troops to fight sister southern states.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
