"National Monument"?
I could not find any congressional action designating Fort Moultrie as a "national monument" nor a presidential proclamation. In fact, page 14 of the 1998 GMP states "No enabling legislation exists for Fort Moultrie." &mdash; Eoghanacht  talk 11:59, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Good catch. "Fort Moultrie is a unit of Fort Sumter National Monument. " So shall we rename it, and if so, to what? Dougweller (talk) 15:51, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I've worked on the article, the only issue now is the name, see Category:American Civil War forts to see how other civil war forts are named, not conistently I'm afraid. Dougweller (talk) 20:17, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

Back in 2002 there was an effort in the Senate to deal with this by renaming the NPS unit "Fort Sumter and Fort Moultrie National Historical Park", but does not seem to have gotten anywhere. "Fort Moultrie" seems logical enough for the rename -- it is the most common name, right? &mdash; Eoghanacht  talk 03:00, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

"soon to be traitor"
This suspect wording either needs to be examined or clarified with respect to John B. Floyd, first made Secretary of War by John Buchanan. Floyd's various actions were hardly laudatory, but he was never accused of treason. After leaving office and before shots were fired in anger at Fort Sumter, he was accused of conspiracy and fraud, but the indictment was quashed. In his memoirs, Grant did use the word treason when referring to Floyd, but that would put him in the same company as all the Confederate fighters and sympathizers, like Lee.Euonyman (talk) 17:34, 14 July 2014 (UTC)

Postbellum period
I'm preparing a significant expansion of the "Postbellum period" subsection, including details of the Endicott and later batteries 1895-1945. I'll also be adding references for 1st System and 3rd System eras. Any wishing to collaborate are welcome. RobDuch (talk) 04:50, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

Fort Moultrie
I noticed some unreliable sources while translating this article for a foreign language wiki, but I don't have time to fix them right now. Specifically the source is FortWiki, which is heavily cited and seems to be SPS. Seraphim System ( talk ) 20:03, 10 December 2018 (UTC)
