Anderson became an immediate national hero as the man who defied South Carolina officials by not abandoning Fort Sumter after the bombardment. His recruitment tour of the U.S. was highly successful, and he also served as commander of the Department of Kentucky before handing over command to General Sherman in October 1861. |
