Nothing more than a declaration of belligerent independence along with the psychological boost of a first strike... the heightened optimism of bravado.

Was the significance of the second battle of Fort Wagner?

The Second Battle of Fort Wagner that took place on July 18,1863, saw two Union brigades led by Gen. Truman Seymour attacking Fort Wagner, under cover of the Federal siege siege artillery. The assailants managed to gain a foothold in the Fort but they were soon hurled back with heavy losses by a Confederate counter attack. Here it's worth remembering the gallant behaviour of the 54th Massachusetts (colored) Volunteer Regiment, which lost his commander, Colonel Robert Gould Shaw on the Fort's battlements. Seymour was wounded and both his Brigade commanders, Strong and H.S. Putnam were killed. When the Federals pressed on their siege operation, the Confederates evacuated Fort Wagner and Morris Island on the night of Sept. 6th. Anyway that outcome affected but little the Confederate defence of Charleston, because Fort Sumter held out and, though the harbor remained blockaded by the Union fleet, the city resisted until its evacuation that took place on February 17,1865, due to the approaching Sherman's Army.
