The siege of Fort Morgan occurred during the American Civil War, as part of the battle for Mobile Bay, in the Confederate state of Alabama during August 1864.

The fort was a powerful but outdated fortification garrisoned by 600 men under the command of Robert E. Lee's cousin, Brig.

Granger's soldiers landed at Pilot Town on August 9 and began moving siege artillery within range.

Page's situation was further worsened when he was suspected of destroying munitions and works within the fort after the surrender agreement.

The court found that much of the destruction of ammunition resulted from a fire in the Citadel and that Confederates had spiked the artillery pieces before they had raised a white flag of surrender.
