In the Civil War era in American history, the fort guarding Charleston (South Carolina) Harbor was named Fort Sumter before, during, and after the four-year conflict. Hence, when the South finally seceded formally from (and with the eruption of hostilities with) the North, Fort Sumter continued to be called by the same name.
