The Fort Sumter Flag was lowered by Major Robert Anderson on April 14 1861 when he surrendered the fort in the harbor of Charleston, South Carolina, at the outset of the American Civil War. The flag was a widely-known patriotic symbol for the North during the war and was repeatedly auctioned and donated back for wartime fund raising. Four years to the day after the surrender, as part of a celebration of the Union victory, Major General Anderson raised the flag in triumph over the battered remains of the fort.Your choice of standard sizes!
