Abstract
The Citadel, the Military College of South Carolina (founded 1842), was modeled on West Point and created to form citizen-soldiers prepared to serve South Carolina. Citadel cadets were involved in various aspects of the Civil War. Cadets fired shots on the Star of the West, an American steamer headed to Fort Sumter, on January 9, 1861, preventing it from resupplying Union troops. Though the Citadel never closed during the war, many cadets enlisted in the war effort. While the war raged, Citadel cadet duties included providing basic training to conscripted soldiers and recruits (cadets were not exempt from conscription themselves), not just in Charleston but in the field as well; guarding and transferring prisoners; and other duties. While classes continued, the war effort took precedence over academics. In February 1865, Union troops occupied Charleston and were garrisoned in The Citadel until 1879.
