Fort Pemberton Fort Pemberton was one of the larger confederate forts was constructed in the defense of Charleston , South Carolina during the American Civil War . When Charleston was overwhelmed by Union forces in 1861 , it became evident that control of the western regions of James Island and the Stono River was to be an important element in the defense of the city . Confederate military authorities of the time believed that Union occupation of James Island would leave Charleston subject to attack from the southeast . From this position the city would assuredly fall to the Union . Although there were many gun batteries in place along the south and east side of James Island , Fort Pemberton was the only fortress in defense of this region . Construction . Fort Pemberton employed largely slave labor drawn from the neighboring plantations . The fort was of earthen construction , except for the framing over the earth - covered shot furnace and powder magazines , which were suspected to be of being wood . The fort ' s original section was constructed in 1862 by order of Confederate Brig . General John C . Pemberton , who was at the time commander of the Charleston defenses and had the distinction of having the fort named for him . The fort was a heavily fortified structure . It represented an evolved example of Confederate military engineering . The building ' s shape was pentagonal with armed redoubts along the perimeter . The fort measured approximately 400 feet by 350 feet with walls 10 to 12 feet high and 20 feet thick at the base . An additional 700 - foot - long rampart was constructed the following year which directly flanked the original section on the southeast . Defenses . The fort was designed to function as both a land and water battery . By October 1862 , the fort ' s armament included 20 guns of various calibers . The fort ' s position was to deny Federal gun boat attack from the Stono River which ran along the western shores of James Island . Union gunboats continued to have dominance of portions of the Stono river out of range of Fort Pemberton ' s guns . In addition , the fort had complete control of the critical Wappoo Creek that meandered eastward into the Ashley River which borders Charleston to the west . In addition to guarding against water access , the fort was also designed as a land battery . As an enclosed structure , many of Fort Pemberton ' s guns faced inland in the event of a land attack . Fort Pemberton served as the western anchor of James Island ' s shore defense . Condition . The fort has remained essentially intact since its completion in 1863 and is presently covered with a substantial growth of pines and other indigenous trees . Its setting gives the fort a park - like appearance . Intrusions on the property are several residences which do not significantly alter the integrity of the fort . It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978 .
George Armistead George Armistead ( April 10 , 1780 – April 25 , 1818 ) was an American military officer who served as the commander of Fort McHenry during the Battle of Baltimore in the War of 1812 . Life and career . Armistead was born in Newmarket , Caroline County , Virginia . He was one of five brothers who served in the War of 1812 , either in the regular army or militia . He distinguished himself at the capture of Fort George from the British , near the mouth of Niagara River in Canada on May 27 , 1813 while serving as an artillery officer at Fort Niagara . He would later carry the captured British flags to President James Madison . Upon his arrival in Washington , Armistead was ordered to " take command of Fort McHenry . " When he arrived at Fort McHenry , located in the outer harbor of Baltimore , Maryland , Armistead ordered " a flag so large that the British would have no difficulty seeing it from a distance " . That flag , known as the Star Spangled Banner Flag , measured 42 ' x 30 ' , and was made by Baltimore resident Mary Pickersgill , her daughter , and seven seamtresses , and would be later memorialized by Francis Scott Key in the poem " The Star Spangled Banner " , which later became the American national anthem . During the nearly 25 - hour bombardment of Fort McHenry , commencing before dawn on September 13 until the morning of September 14 , 1814 , Armistead alone knew the fort ’ s magazine was not bombproof . When a shell crashed through the roof of the magazine but failed to explode , Armistead ordered the powder barrels cleared out and placed under the rear walls of the fort . Remarkably , only four men were killed , when two shells smashed into the fort ' s southwest bastion , despite a deadly rain of some 2 , 000 mortar shells that the British bombardment fleet fired at the fort . Because the Royal Navy proved unable to capture or reduce the fort in order to enter Baltimore harbor to bombard the main American defense line east of the city , British commander - in - chief Vice Admiral Sir Alexander Cochrane wrote to British Army commander Colonel Arthur Brooke that it was up to him whether to decide to attack or withdraw . Brooke , who had taken over from Major - General Robert Ross , who was mortally wounded just before the Battle of North Point on September 12 , decided to withdraw . Following the battle , Armistead was soon promoted to lieutenant colonel . Much weakened by the arduous preparations for the battle , he died at age 38 , only three years after . A nephew of Armistead ' s , Lewis Addison Armistead , was a well known Confederate General in the American Civil War who died at the Battle of Gettysburg .
