Battery Rodgers (U.S. Civil War) White Coffee Mug

Battery Rodgers refers to a coastal fortification located in Charleston Harbor, South Carolina, United States. It was constructed between 1862 and 1863 during the American Civil War as part of the Confederate States' defenses against Union naval attacks. The battery is named after Colonel Edward C. Rodgers, a prominent Confederate officer who served in Charleston's defense. The battery features three tiers of casemated gun positions designed to house heavy artillery. Although the Battery Rodgers did not play a significant role in any major battles, it contributed to the extensive exchange of fire during the bombardment of Fort Sumter in 1863. Today, Battery Rodgers stands as a historical landmark and is maintained by the National Park Service as part of Fort Sumter National Monument.
