The pristine waters of Lake Jocassee and a casual stroll through Charleston suggest an amiable heritage. But the Palmetto State has often been the epicenter of struggle that includes the brave souls pushing for change during the civil rights era and the patriots fighting for independence at the Battle of Kings Mountain. Fort Sumter history is defined by the ignition of the Civil War and even idyllic Daufuskie played host to pirates. Explore our South Carolina history books, from the frenetic drama of a state hospital to the coordination of Clemson’s football dynasty. [View all South Carolina books]

Small armies of men waged a ferocious series of battles in the southern theater, changing the outcome of the Revolutionary War. When the British effort to subdue the Colonies moved to the southern provinces, the men of Appalachia sought to protect their homes and families. In the winter of 1780-81, the turning point of the southern war occurred in the Carolina back country. A trio of battles occurred at Kings Mountain, Cowpens, and Guilford Court House. These clashes proved pivotal to American independence, destroying British army capability in the south and facilitating the American victory at Yorktown.
