Morris Island
Morris Island is an 840-acre (3.4 km²) uninhabited island in Charleston Harbor in South Carolina, accessible only by boat. The island lies in the outer reaches of the harbor and was thus a strategic location in the American Civil War. The island is part of the cities of Charleston and Folly Beach, in Charleston County. History Morris Island was heavily fortified to defend Charleston Harbor, with the fortifications centered on Fort Wagner. On January 9, 1861, the first shots of the American Civil War were fired from cannons by cadets of The Citadel at the ''Star of the West'' as the ship tried to resupply Fort Sumter.

The regiment and this assault, where it suffered over 50% casualties, was immortalized in the film '' Glory''. After th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
