South Carolina's Role in the American Revolution: Support, Battles, and Key Figures

Chapter 6 sheds light on South Carolina's significant contributions to the American Revolutionary War. After the Boston Tea Party, South Carolinians sent vital supplies to support Boston and protested against the Intolerable Acts by boycotting British goods. Rebecca Motte bravely allowed her house to be burned to aid the Patriots, while the Battle at Sullivan’s Island saw American forces triumph over the British. The chapter also highlights figures like Francis Marion, known as the "Swamp Fox," and the importance of victories at Ninety-Six and Cowpens, which helped maintain American momentum in the war.
