On July 18, 1863, during the American Civil War, Union forces launched a significant assault on Confederate defenses at Fort Wagner in South Carolina, which was part of a broader campaign to capture Charleston. This battle is notable for the courageous involvement of the 54th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment, one of the first African American units to fight for the Union. Despite their bravery and determination, the Union forces suffered heavy casualties and ultimately failed to capture the fort. The battle highlighted both the valor of African American soldiers and the challenges they faced in the war.
