In 1863, Trapier commanded the garrison on Sullivans Island and during Union Admiral Samuel Du Pont’s failed naval assault on Charleston. For the rest of the war, he defended the Charleston and Georgetown Districts until the Confederate surrender. After the war, he returned to farming in South Carolina, until his death in 1865 at age 50.
