This book was released on 2020-06-22 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The complex, colorful history of South Carolina's southeastern corner In the first volume of The History of Beaufort County, South Carolina, three distinguished historians of the Palmetto State recount more than three centuries of Spanish and French exploration, English and Huguenot agriculture, and African slave labor as they trace the history of one of North America's oldest European settlements. From the sixteenth-century forays of the Spaniards to the invasion of Union forces in 1861, Lawrence S. Rowland, Alexander Moore, and George C. Rogers, Jr., chronicle the settlement and development of the geographical region comprised of what is now Beaufort, Jasper, Hampton, and part of Allendale counties. The authors describe the ill-fated attempts of the Spanish and French to settle the Port Royal Sound area and the arrival of the British in 1663, which established the Beaufort District as the southern frontier of English North America. They tell of the region's bloody Indian Wars, participation in the American Revolution, and golden age of prosperity and influence following the introduction of Sea Island cotton. In charting the approach of civil war, Rowland, Moore, and Rogers relate Beaufort District's decisive role in the Nullification Crisis and in the cultivation, by some of the district's native sons, of South Carolina's secessionist movement. Of particular interest, they profile the local African American, or Gullah, population - a community that has become well known for the retention of its African cultural and linguistic heritage.

Download or read book The Bluffton Expedition written by Jeff Fulgham and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-06-03 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: JUNE 4, 1863... As the sun began to set below the horizon across the May River estuary, smoke clouds still billowed from the burning homes and buildings of the town; when it rose on the morning of June 5, it was evident that Bluffton's antebellum way of life had vanished forever. Perhaps in an omen of what was to come for the South, the burning of Bluffton, South Carolina, in 1863 was a prelude to the farewell of the Southern plantation era and of the institution of slavery. In the years leading up to the Civil War, Bluffton had gained national prominence as a hotbed of secessionist activity. The Bluffton Movement was sparked during a fiery political gathering held under a sprawling and magnificent live oak now referred to as the Secession Oak. The movement generated a dangerous whirlwind of political rhetoric that only war and devastation would silence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the South Carolina Cession: And the Northern Boundary of Tennessee Read Before the Tennessee Historical Society, November 8, 1881. Here are some events of history which possess but little historic importance, but for this very reason are invested with peculiar historic interest. Such incidents, either from the brief period of their existence, or from their failure to produce any marked results upon the general interests of communities, are soon lost to view amid the great and pregnant events which stand out as the landmarks of a nation's his tory. When in after years these lesser facts are recalled to our notice by the researches of the historian or the antiquarian, they strike us with surprise, and possess all the charms of novelty. To this class belongs the history of the narrow strip of land touching the southern boundary of North Carolina and Tennessee, and extend ing from South Carolina to the Mississippi River. This strip is about 12 miles wide and more than 400 miles long, and was ceded by South Carolina to the United States on the 9th day of August, 1787.
