Book excerpt: Few locations in South Carolina have figured as prominently in the early history of the state as the old town of Ninety Six. As a witness to two Revolutionary War battles, two Cherokee War battles, a trading post, three forts and two towns, the site is perhaps one of the richest archaeological sites in the South. In recognition of its rich history the Ninety Six National Historic Site became part of the National Park Service in 1976. The unusual name that was given to the site is believed to have taken root in the early 1700s. English traders estimated the distance to the Cherokee village of Keowee in the upper South Carolina foothills to be ninety-six miles. By the 1770s, Fort Ninety Six and the adjoining village--located at the crossroads of twelve roads--reached its peak as an important backcountry outpost, boasting a growing population, a newly constructed courthouse and jail. However, the onset of the American Revolutionary War would end this progress and the first land battle south of New England was fought at Ninety Six in 1775. The fort and town would change hands many times between those fighting for independence and those still loyal to England, leaving the town in shambles by the close of the war. Old Ninety Six: A History and Guide, by Robert Dunkerly and Eric Williams, is a well-researched and highly accessible work, which underscores the important contribution of Ninety Six to the early history of South Carolina and guides the reader through the well-preserved fort that stills stands at the site today.
Download or read book The Frontier in the Colonial South written by George L. Johnson and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1997-10-30 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using the New Social History method and examining nearly every document produced over the years covered, this study examines the growth of communities in the Upper Pee Dee region of the South Carolina backcountry in the 18th century. The study considers the emergence of a landed elite, slavery, and a mobile population, plus the disestablishment of the Anglican Church. Inhabitants of the Cheraws District had access to a river that flowed to the coast, allowing them to transport their agricultural produce to the market at Georgetown. This ease of transportation enabled the district to become more developed than other regions of the South Carolina backcountry. In the 1770s, local inhabitants built a courthouse and a jail, and members of the rising planter class formed St. David's Society to educate parish youth. Records from two of the oldest Baptist churches in the South provide clues to communal cohesion and ethnicity. These accounts, combined with land and probate records, provide information concerning settlement, wealth, and slaveholding patterns in the region.

Download or read book Carolina Loyalist written by John Hairr and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2023-01-13 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most enigmatic figures of the American Revolutionary War, Colonel David Fanning is best known for his 1781 capture of Thomas Burke, the governor of North Carolina. As a Loyalist officer, Fanning fought in more than thirty minor engagements across the Carolinas, serving as commander of Loyalist forces during the Battle of Lindley's Mill--the largest battle fought between the Whigs and Loyalists during the Tory War of 1781-82. His successes on behalf of the British government led to his being banned from North Carolina after the war. This first full-length biography chronicles Fanning's deeds through some of the most brutal fighting in the Carolinas, and his postwar tribulations in British East Florida, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.

Download or read book The Carolina Backcountry on the Eve of the Revolution written by Charles Woodmason and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2013-04-01 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In what is probably the fullest and most vivid extant account of the American Colonial frontier, The Carolina Backcountry on the Eve of the Revolution gives shape to the daily life, thoughts, hopes, and fears of the frontier people. It is set forth by one of the most extraordinary men who ever sought out the wilderness--Charles Woodmason, an Anglican minister whose moral earnestness and savage indignation, combined with a vehement style, make him worthy of comparison with Swift. The book consists of his journal, selections from the sermons he preached to his Backcountry congregations, and the letters he wrote to influential people in Charleston and England describing life on the frontier and arguing the cause of the frontier people. Woodmason's pleas are fervent and moving; his narrative and descriptive style is colorful to a degree attained by few writers in Colonial America.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from World of Toil and Strife: Community Transformation in Backcountry South Carolina, 1750-1805 Traditional though it was, however, William Richardson's world was not the static, isolated backwater commonly associated with the colonial backcountry. The Waxhaws was, in fact, a bustling community, dynamic and evolving, constantly in motion, responding to the push and pull of global markets, population pressures, and impe rial politics. In the years following Richardson's sudden death at age forty-two indeed, even as he lay dead in his upstairs study on a hot July evening in 1771 - these and other, more subtle, forces were working to transform his World. Farmers bound themselves increasingly to creditors as consumption increased and the Waxhaws was integrated into the regional commodities market. A new stream of immigrants intro duced class, neighborhood, and religious tensions that tended to paralyze the once unified and dynamic congregation. Population growth, changing land 'markets, and out-migration eroded the kin-based neighborhoods, just as surely as slavery and commercial farming weakened the web of neighborly dependencies that framed the local exchange economy. And fading memories of an Anglican establishment diluted the sectarian identity of the rising generation and opened it to new and controversial forms of religious experience. Thus while the memory of Richardson's remarkable piety and devotion to God lingered for more than a quarter century after his death, the world he inhabited changed profoundly in this same period. By 1800 it more closely resembled the slaveholding, staple-producing world of the South than the yeoman communities its early settlers had left behind in the mid-atlantic region.

Download or read book Tory Insurgents written by Robert M. Calhoon and published by Univ of South Carolina Press. This book was released on 2012-08-24 with total page 459 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new edition of the germinal study of Loyalism in the American Revolution Building on the work of his 1989 book The Loyalist Perception and Other Essays, accomplished historian Robert M. Calhoon returns to the subject of internal strife in the American Revolution with Tory Insurgents. This volume collects revised, updated versions of eighteen groundbreaking articles, essays, and chapters published since 1965, and also features one essay original to this volume. In a model of scholarly collaboration, coauthors Calhoon, Timothy M. Barnes, and Robert Scott Davis are joined in select pieces by Donald C. Lord, Janice Potter, and Robert M. Weir. Among the topics broached by this noted group of historians are the diverse political ideals represented in the Loyalist stance; the coherence of the Loyalist press; the loyalism of garrison towns, the Floridas, and the Western frontier; Carolina loyalism as viewed by Irish-born patriots Aedanus and Thomas Burke; and the postwar reintegration of Loyalists and the disaffected. Included as well is a chapter and epilogue from Calhoon's seminal—but long out-of-print—1973 study The Loyalists in Revolutionary America, 1760-1781. This updated collection will serve as an unrivaled point of entrance into Loyalist research for scholars and students of the American Revolution.
