Robert Anderson.(June 14, 1805 – October 26, 1871) was an American Civil War hero who defied the Confederacy and upheld Union honor in the first battle of the war at Fort Sumter in April 1861. The Confederates bombarded it and forced its surrender to start the war. After Sumter fell, Anderson was promoted to brigadier general and given command of Union forces in Kentucky, but was removed late in 1861 and reassigned to Rhode Island, before retiring from military service in 1863.
