Yes, Robert Anderson was the Union Army officer in command of Fort Sumter at the outbreak of the Civil War. He is best known for his role in the first battle of Fort Sumter, which began on April 12, 1861, when Confederate forces fired on the fort. Anderson's decision to surrender the fort after a two-day bombardment marked the beginning of the conflict between the North and South.
