In April 1863, a powerful combined operation set its sights on the fort, Charleston, and its outer defenses. The result was 22-month land and sea siege, the longest of the Civil War. The widespread effort included ironclad attacks, land assaults, raiding parties, and siege operations. The defiant fort, Charleston, and its meandering defensive line were evacuated in February 1865." |
