Description
This is a reproduction of the historic Fort Sumter flag, which has a distinctive diamond-shaped pattern of 33 stars. The flag was lowered by Major Robert Anderson on April 14, 1861 when he surrendered Fort Sumter in the harbor of Charleston, South Carolina at the outset of the Civil War. The flag was a widely known patriotic symbol for the North during the war.
On April 14, 1865, four years to the day after the surrender and as part of a celebration of the Union victory, Anderson (by then a major general), raised the flag in triumph over the battered remains of the fort.
Later that same evening, President Lincoln was shot at Ford's Theatre.
