A Turning Point in Military History

Prior to the Civil War, masonry forts were America's main defense against overseas enemies. In one battle, new technology proved its superiority to these forts. The Union army used rifled cannon to compel a surrender by the Confederate garrison inside Fort Pulaski. The siege of the fort was a landmark experiment in the history of military science and invention.
