How strong was the Confederate reinforcement of Charleston Harbor?
After the Confederate capture of Fort Sumter, it became a frequent target of Union attempts to "pay back" the South for its takeover of Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbor. Perhaps no fort in the US Civil War endured the pressures of being a gateway to the South. By the time the Union was serious about retaking the fort, the Rebels had greatly strengthened the fort that protected Charleston and its harbor. More cannons were added to the fort and all points within the harbor had allot of artillery and fortifications. For example, when on April 7, 1863, Union warships steamed into the harbor where they passed a number of buoys which the Rebels used as range markers for their artillery. Once the US flotilla was in range the Confederates, with great accuracy fired over 2,000 shots in the two hour battle that ensued. The Union ships managed to return fire with only 154 shots. This was one episode in the Union's attempt to take over Fort Sumter and the harbor. More agtempts would be tried again.
What tactics were used bye both sides during the attack on Fort Sumter?
In the months preceding the formal start of the American Civil War, the tactics utilized by both the South Carolinian forces surrounding the Union garrison of Fort Sumter and that garrison itself consisted primarily of 'waiting out the enemy'; that is, neither side initially made any aggressive tactical moves against the other. Eventually, the Union made use of sea-borne transport in an effort to resupply the garrison: the South Carolinians responded with an overwhelming cannon-bombardment that quickly forced the surrender of the fort's occupants. With all said above, the primary battle tactic used in the conflict at Fort Sumter was artillery fire.
