South Carolina's thriving cultural center of Charleston, and the luxurious coastal
island resorts belie the state's turbulent history. Raging against British taxation,
South Carolina sent delegates to the Continental Congresses of 1774 and 1775.
Throughout the Revolutionary War, the state fought and suffered through 137 battles
on her soil. When the British were quashed at the Battle of King's Mountain in
1780, the tides were turned. Charleston. |

The almost legendary figure Francis Marion (the Swamp Fox), also contributed to
the British retreat. Marion and his men would hide in the swamps and strike out
in surprise at British troops, only to vanish again into the unwelcoming swampland.
British forces finally withdrew from Charleston in 1782. In 1861, when Fort Sumter
in Charleston Harbor was fired upon, the Civil War began, and South Carolina was
again engaged in war. Charleston. |
