  • Who Were South Carolina's Turkish People

    Who Were South Carolina's Turkish People

    (This paper was presented by the authors at the South Carolina Historical Association in 2018. It was based in part on material in their forthcoming book, South Carolina’s Turkish People: A History and Ethnology, published by the University of South Carolina Press in 2018.) WHO WERE SOUTH CAROLINA’S TURKISH PEOPLE? GENETICS AND GENEALOGY HELP SOLVE A TWO-HUNDRED-YEAR-OLD MYSTERY By Glen Browder and Terri Ann Ognibene South Carolina has always been an intriguing place for research on regional and national history. Most commonly, the Palmetto State has been scrutinized and depicted through a binary lens of racial supposition; and there is an all too often conception of this state as an eternal realm of black-and-white society. However, the reality is that South Carolina has experienced surprising richness in its ethnic origins and evolving culture over many generations. As demonstrated by Walter Edgar, the state’s premier chronicler, before the Europeans there were as many as forty different Indian nations; and by the end of the eighteenth century there were at least twenty-five West African ethnicities and nine European ethnic groups. “Thus South Carolina’s population is a rich mosaic, a variety of people from three continents. Over the centuries the interaction of these peoples produced a culture that made South Carolina a special place.”1 Of particular pertinence to our project, historian James W. Hagy pinpointed South 1 Carolina's rich diversity prior to the Civil War. Hagy wrote that one could find non-Europeans and non-Christians with exotic ethnic backgrounds, including Muslim slaves, abducted Moors, African Jews, and even "misnamed Turks" who contributed to the state's early experience.

While Green’s art continues to capture the same energy, color, and deep respect for his ancestors, his techniques have evolved to feature bolder brush strokes and a use of depth and texture, all guided by his matur- ing artistic vision that is more about experi- encing freedom and contentment through his art. This vision is reflected in the 179 new Gullah Spirit paintings featured in Gullah Spirit.

  • Assault on Fort Granby May 15, 1781

    Assault on Fort Granby May 15, 1781

    Vol. 4 No. 2.1_____________________________________________________ __April – June 2007 Assault on Fort Granby May 15, 1781 Fort Granby was built by the British and Loyalists around the Kershaw and Chesnut c. 1770 trading post on the western bluff overlooking the Congaree River. Located in an area historically called “the Congarees” which hosted two pre-revolutionary forts and trading posts dating back to 1715. German, Swiss and Scot-Irish immigrants established small farms in this area and Granby would later be the leading town for many years. This 1970 oil painting by Alfred Richardson Simson depicts the May 2-15, 1781 siege of the British post by the combined forces of SC militia Gen. Thomas Sumter and Continental Lt. Col. Henry “Light Horse Harry” Lee. A 263-man Loyalist force commanded by Maj. Andrew Maxwell defends the fortified frame house. Maxwell agreed to surrender provided he was allowed to maintain possession of his plunder. The green-jacketed Lt. Col. Lee, depicted to the left, watches his cannon engage the fort from the east side of the Congaree River as Gen. Sumter’s and Col. Thomas Taylor’s troops attack. The painting was photographed by Will Graves and enhanced for publication. Used by permission of The Cayce Historical Museum, 1800 12th Street, Cayce, SC where the original hangs.

  • The Rhetoric of Revenge: Atrocity and Identity in the Revolutionary Carolinas

    The Rhetoric of Revenge: Atrocity and Identity in the Revolutionary Carolinas

    Journal of Backcountry Studies The Rhetoric of Revenge: Atrocity and Identity in the Revolutionary Carolinas BY BEN RUBIN Thomas Young remembered exactly where he was on Saturday, October 14, 1780. Years later, he would mark it down in his memoirs as the day he finally saw a band of infamous criminals brought to justice. “A few days after the battle [of King’s Mountain],” he began, “a court martial was held to try some of the Tories who were known to be of the most outrageous and blood-thirsty character. About twenty were found guilty, but ten received a pardon or respite.”1 As it happened, on that same day, the 14, of October, Anthony Allaire witnessed a mass murder. He calmly noted it in his diary: Saturday, 14th. Twelve field officers were chosen to try the militia prisoners-particularly those who had the most influence in the country. They condemned thirty-in the evening they began to execute Lieut.-Col Mills, Capt. Wilson, Capt. Chitwood, and six others, who unfortunately fell a sacrifice to their infamous mock jury. Mills, Wilson and Chitwood died like Romans.2 The incidents these two men observed were one in the same. Allaire’s account was hastily scribbled in the heat of the moment, probably that very day or the day after, while Young’s was a recollection penned in old age, sixty-three years after the fact. Yet not a single one of the facts in the two short narratives differ. Nine men were put on trial, convicted and put to death. But the nature of the incident and the way each of the two young witnesses internalized it into his interpretation of the drama he was living through could not have differed more.

  • European Influence on Pre-Civil War Southern Culture: the Case of South Carolina

    European Influence on Pre-Civil War Southern Culture: the Case of South Carolina

    W ALTER E DGAR European Influence on Pre-Civil War Southern Culture: The Case of South Carolina On the eve of the American Revolution, South Carolina was the wealthiest of Great Britain’s North American colonies and its capital, Charleston, arguably the most sophisticated colonial American city. What was it that made this semi-tropical, agricultural-based colony the crown jewel of British North America? As in most things – be it empire or murder mysteries – follow the money. In terms of imperial trade, South Carolina was unsurpassed in Brit- ish North America. At the turn of the eighteenth century, the colony produced only three percent of the exports from North America. However, by 1770, its share accounted for twenty-nine per cent. Charles- ton and the Carolina lowcountry were not only the richest portion of the Empire in North America, but some economic historians surmise that it may have been the single wealthiest area within the entire Empire – the mother country included.1 If you had visited Charleston in 1774, as did a modern economic historian named Alice Hanson Jones, you would have found a society with a greater aggregate wealth than many nations of the world today. In her examination of colonial America, Jones compared the wealth of New York City; Philadelphia; Suffolk County, Massachusetts; Vir- ginia counties; Anne Arundel County, Maryland; and Charleston Dis- trict. In 1774, the mean aggregate wealth of estates in Charleston District was $235,738 (in today’s dollars). Next was Anne Arundel County, Maryland at $66,639; followed by the Virginia counties at $56, 928; Philadelphia at $40,056; Suffolk County, Massachusetts at $31,559; and New York City at $28,039.
