After the surrender of Fort Sumter, President Lincoln called for 75,000 volunteers. He requested that each of them serve for three months.
Although the specific reason for Fort Sumter of Charleston, South Carolina, being named after the American Revolution General, who also served as a U.S. Senator and Congressman, is probably lost to history, those are certainly enough qualifications to merit having any edifice being given one's name.
Fort Sumter - a tiny US Army garrison on an island in Charleston harbour. When the Confederate artillery fired on the fort, Lincoln called for volunteer troops for the Union, and the war was on.

On April 18, 1865, Union General Sherman had forced the Confederate General Joseph Johnston to agree to an "agreement" which called for an armistice between the two armies. This so-called agreement was a surrender document that contained language concerning reconstruction policies. This was beyond the scope of a victorious field general, and President Andrew Johnson rejected it. Six days later he approved virtually the same agreement.
Fort Sumter is located in Charleston harbor in South Carolina. in 1861 South Carolina joined the Confederate States of America,and in so doing her star was now one of seven that was now repersented by the flag of their new nation,officaly known as the First National Confederate flag, its true nick name is the Stars and Bars. This flag is not ''the'' Fort Sumter flag. the use of the ''Stars and Bars'' at Fort Sumter simply shows that Ft. Sumter at that time after april 12 1861 was now under the joint control of the state of South Carolina and the Confederate government then sitting at Montgomery, Alabama.
Confederate Secretary of State Robert Toombs pleaded wit President Davis to allow supply ships to replenish the food supplies for Fort Sumter. He warned Davis that an attack on the supply ships or on Fort Sumter would alienate any friends the South had in the North. He called any Confederate violence to be an act of suicide.
