Fort Pulaski was built as part of the Third System of Coastal Fortifications after the War of 1812. Construction of the Fort took place over many years between 1829 and 1847. The Fort stands on Cockspur Island, at the mouth of the Savannah River, and guards the city of Savannah against seaborne attack.

A volunteer regiment from Georgia seized the fort during the American Civil War, just a few weeks after South Carolina seceded from the United States. The State of Georgia would secede shortly after Fort Pulaski was taken.

The Initial U.S. response was establishing a blockade, which prevented Confederate ships from reaching Savannah, Georgia, with military supplies. As the United States Civil War continued, the Federal troops prepared to lay siege to Fort Pulaski.

The Union forces secured nearby Tybee Island and established 11 batteries to bombard the fort. This would be the first time that rifled cannons were used in combat.

The rifling in the barrels provided greater accuracy and power over longer distances than the smooth-bore cannons that had been used up until this time. The effectiveness of the rifled cannons during the siege was a pivotal point in military history and made masonry forts obsolete.
