History of the SUMTER 1861 Battle Streamer
In the late months of 1860, Fort Sumter, under the command of Maj. Robert Anderson, faced Confederate siege in Charleston Harbor. By April 1861, Confederate forces, led by Brig. Gen. Pierre G. T. Beauregard, demanded its surrender, initiating a heavy bombardment that lasted for 34 hours. Despite a vigorous defense, Anderson surrendered with honors on April 13, 1861, marking a significant escalation in tensions. This event catalyzed both Union and Confederate preparations for war, with President Lincoln authorizing an advance towards Richmond in late June. The subsequent clash at Manassas in July 1861 highlighted the escalating conflict between the Union and Confederacy.
