The Union Army was never able to capture Fort Wagner. Eventually they got men and cannon into positions on the swampy islands around it so they made it untenable for the Confederates, who evacuated Fort Wagner and blew it up as they left.

The events depicted in the movie "Glory", the attack against Fort Wagner in which the 54th Massachusetts participated, took place in July, 1863.
