"Sir Peter Parker's Attack Against Fort Moultrie" by James Peale captures an important moment during the early stages of the American Revolution. The battle occurred on June 28, 1776, during the Battle of Sullivan's Island, part of the Southern campaign of the Revolutionary War. British Admiral Sir Peter Parker led a naval assault against Fort Sullivan (later renamed Fort Moultrie) near Charleston, South Carolina. The fort, commanded by Colonel William Moultrie, was unfinished at the time and constructed largely of palmetto logs and sand. Despite being outnumbered and facing a well-equipped British fleet, the American defenders successfully repelled the attack. The palmetto logs absorbed the cannon fire, minimizing damage to the fort and enabling the defenders to maintain their position. The defeat forced the British to delay their plans to subdue the Southern colonies, allowing the Continental Army and militias time to organize. It was a major setback for British morale and their naval superiority narrative.
