It’s my understanding Fort Sumpter looks like an aircraft carrier now since it was so destroyed during the Civil War. The sister fort is directly underneath the Golden Gate Bridge and called Fort Point.

“Glory” had two other minor mistakes in the movie. One was the Enfields didn’t have serial numbers so they couldn’t have recorded numbers when they were handed out. The second is the flag had painted stars instead of embroided ones.

It really is more of a pile of brick rubble although several casemates still exist relatively intact. There are several walls still standing as well although the bombardment throughout the war substantially reduced the original size.

Thank you for the information on the Enfields and the flag. I had not known those things previously. Still one of the best Civil War movies IMO. The black warriors were not portrayed as a bunch of sniveling victims and the Confederates were not portrayed as a bunch of fire breathing racists. I loved the Morgan Freeman speech about "....ante up and kick in like men. Like Men!" My son the USMC Corporal and I have had similar discussions prior to his service.

Take care.

Sumter looks very little like it did in 1861-63. The military constructed a more modern coastal defense battery on the site for WW I and WW II; the huge black metal casemates for those guns are also still there, so you have an odd mixture of the ruins of the WBTS fort interspersed with hardware eighty years more modern.
