Federal forces took Hilton Head / Port Royal in early November of 1861. And yet, Ft Sumter in Charleston was not finally captured until April 1865. Despite securing a massive numerical and strategic advantage in the Lowcountry fairly early into the rebellion, Union generals quite literally sat their asses on the beach, and made no serious efforts to move through the birthplace of the rebellion. 3 and a half years. Nothing. Just more unnecessary death and destruction in other theaters.
It's well past time that our generals get off their asses and move on Ft. Sumter.
