Despite being outgunned and low on powder, American defenders turned the tide with resilient fort walls that absorbed cannonballs and even derailed British shells. A heroic moment came when Sergeant William Jasper retrieved the American flag after it was shot down, rallying troops. As night fell, the British retreated, defeated and frustrated. This stunning victory, just days before Independence was declared, became a symbol of American grit and resilience, and the fort was later renamed Fort Moultrie.
