The 33-Star garrison flag that flew over FortSumter is sometimes called “the flag that started a war.” The fort’s commander was Major Anderson when the first shots of the American Civil War were fired in Charleston harbor. He surrendered to the Southern forces under General Beauregard after three days of token resistance. The only two casualties of the fighting were two Confederate privates killed when their cannon accidentally exploded. Ever since the Mexican-American War (about 1845) the Army had followed an unofficial tradition of using a “diamond” pattern for the stars on their garrison flags. The FortSumter flag is a good example of this practice.
