Do you mean Anderson?

That would be Major Anderson, commander of the Union garrison on the tiny island of Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbour.

The first shots of the civil war were fired by Confederate artillery at this garrison, which had no choice but to surrender.

After the war, Anderson had the privilege of re-hoisting the Stars & Stripes at the Fort.
