Often lost in this narrative is the pivotal role that South Carolina played in the Revolutionary conflict, especially when the war moved south after 1780. Drawing upon the entries in the award-winning \u003ci\u003eSouth Carolina Encyclopedia\u003c\/i\u003e, this volume shines a light on the central role South Carolina played in the story of American independence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuring the war, more than 200 battles and skirmishes were fought in South Carolina, more than any other state. The battles of Ninety Six, Cowpens, Charleston Harbor, among others, helped to shape the course of the war and are detailed here. It also includes well-known leaders and lesser-known figures who contributed to the course of American history. As the United States approaches the 250th anniversary of its independence, this volume serves as a reminder of the trials and sacrifice that were required to make a new nation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Walter Edgar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1643362275\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781643362274\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of South Carolina Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/04\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 172\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.13h x 6.14w x 0.71d","brand":"Walter Edgar","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43993086689535,"sku":"9781643362274","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a50d87d8-90af-4a03-8430-90b06c9efd58.jpg?v=1683322451","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/101-people-and-places-that-walter-edgar-9781643362274","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
