Line 262:

Even though he was a native Kentuckian and commanding officer at Fort Sumter, Charleston, South Carolina he remained loyal to the Union. When South Carolina voted to secede, he refused to surrender his fort. He held out for four months, finally surrendering on 14 April 1861. This battle began the Civil War. "Colonel Robert Anderson, the Union commander of Fort Sumter, whose brilliant and heroic defense of that Charleston fort in 1861 (he refused to surrender to Jefferson Davis and evacuated only after four months of intensive fighting) marked the beginning of the Civil War." (Bosworth, p. 9) Anderson's actions at Fort Sumter made him an immediate national hero. He was promotion to brigadier general. He retired from the Army on 27 Oct 1863.
