History:

Fort Sumter National Monument commemorates defining moments in American history within a military continuum that spans more than a century and a half.

At Fort Moultrie, the first American victory over the British Navy in 1776 galvanized the patriots' cause for independence. Less than a century later, America's most tragic conflict ignited with the first shots of the Civil War at Fort Sumter.
