INTRODUCTION:

Historical Context: Fort Sumter is an island fortification located in Charleston Harbor, South Carolina.

Originally constructed in 1829 as a coastal garrison, Fort Sumter is most famous for being the site of the first shots of the Civil War (1861-65). U.S. Major Robert Anderson occupied the unfinished fort in December 1860 following South Carolina’s secession from the Union, initiating a standoff with the state’s militia forces. When President Abraham Lincoln announced plans to resupply the fort, Confederate General P.G.T. Beauregard bombarded Fort Sumter on April 12, 1861. After a 34-hour exchange of artillery fire, Anderson and 86 soldiers surrendered the fort on April 13. Confederate troops then occupied Fort Sumter for nearly four years, resisting several bombardments by Union forces before abandoning the garrison prior to William T. Sherman’s capture of Charleston in February 1865. After the Civil War, Fort Sumter was restored by the U.S.

military and manned during the Spanish-American War (1898), World War I (1914-18) and World War II (1939-45). It became a unit of the National Park System in 1948.

This facility is a major departure site for visitors to board the concession-operated ferry boats to Fort Sumter, it is open to the public 363 days per year and hosts about 350,000 visitors per year.
