The '''Battle of Fort Macon''' took place from [[March 23]] – [[April 26]], [[1862]], in [[Carteret County, North Carolina]], as part of [[Union Army]] [[General]] [[Ambrose Everett Burnside|Ambrose E. Burnside]]'s [[North Carolina]] expedition during the [[American Civil War]]. |
|||
In late March, Maj. Gen. Ambrose E. Burnside’s army advanced on Fort Macon, a third system [[casemate]]d masonry fort that commanded the channel to Beaufort, 35 miles southeast of [[New Bern, North Carolina | New Bern]]. The Union force invested the fort with siege works and, on [[April 26]], opened an accurate fire on the fort, which soon breached the masonry walls. Within a few hours the fort's [[Counterscarp|scarp]] began to collapse, and the [[Confederate States Army | Confederates]] hoisted a white flag of surrender. This action demonstrated the inadequacy of masonry forts against large-bore, rifled artillery. |

The battle site is now [[Fort Macon State Park]]. |
