Fort Jackson (old fort Jackson)
Episode 25
Fort James Jackson (usually shortened to Fort Jackson and also known as Old Fort Jackson) is a restored nineteenth-century fort located one mile east of Savannah, Georgia, on the Savannah River. It is part of the second system of US coastal fortifications. Fort Jackson was constructed between 1808 and finished in 1812 to protect the city of Savannah from attack by sea. It was one of three Confederate forts that defended Savannah from Union forces (the other two were Fort McAllister and Fort Pulaski). You can see those fortifications in previous videos (episode 23 and 24). Fort Jackson would fall almost immediately when General Sherman entered Savannah in December 1864.
