Thomas Sumter, an American Revolutionary War hero and politician, died on June 1, 1832, due to natural causes related to old age. He passed away at his home in South Carolina, where he had spent much of his later life. Sumter was 98 years old at the time of his death, having lived a long and impactful life in service to his country.
Although the specific reason for Fort Sumter of Charleston, South Carolina, being named after the American Revolution General, who also served as a U.S. Senator and Congressman, is probably lost to history, those are certainly enough qualifications to merit having any edifice being given one's name.
General P.G.T
There was no Union General on the spot. The Sumter garrison was commanded by a Major Anderson. The General-in-Chief in Washington was Winfield Scott.
