i believe the main event of the battle of fort of battery wgner was the 54th Massachusetts voluntary infantry, an all black regiment attacking the confederates. Even the the regiment did lose many men during the battle they fought hard with hand to hand combat with the Confederates. The regiment lost 25% of it's men including its commanding officer General Robert gould Shaw.
The significance of the Battle of Fort Wagner was given by the gallant behaviour of the 54th Massachusetts (coloured) Infantry Regiment, whose black soldiers, led by their colonel Robert Gould Shaw, managed to scale the earthwork, reaching its crest. Several of them entered then the fort engaging the garrison within in hand- to -hand fighting.
They were repulsed with heavy losses and Colonel Shaw was killed, but not before Sergeant William H. Carney had distinguished himself in such a way, that he was awarded the Medal of Honor.
The fame gained by the regiment, which had lost 272 men killed captured or wounded, spread then throughout the North, where it was properly celebrated.
The Battle of Fort Wagner was very important. This battle proved that non white soldiers could fight just as well as white ones.
