What was the result of the assault on Fort Wagner by the African American soilders of the Union's 54th Massachuttes Regiment?
The attack by a brigade which included several regiments, including the 54th Massachusetts, on Battery Wagner was repulsed. Some of the attackers did make it to the interior of the fortification, but the Rebels rallied and drove them out. Battery Wagner never fell to the Yankees. Developments elsewhere around Charleston rendered the Rebel ability to continue to hold the battery questionable, so it was evacuated by its garrison and blown up as they retreated.
