Sumter was considered a spokesman for his state and for the South in general, not only because of his wartime heroism but also from his devotion to state sovereignty and decentralized government. He was a prominent [[Anti-Federalist]] and later [[Democratic-Republican|Jeffersonian Republican]], and toward the end of his life backed South Carolina's doctrine of [[nullification]]. [[Fort Sumter]] in South Carolina was named in his honor.
