Colleton County, SC, played a significant role in the American revolutionary war. It was one of the original counties organized in Carolina in 1682 and served as a battleground for several small battles. The town of Jacksonboro was the meeting place for South Carolina’s government during the British occupation of Charleston.  The county’s involvement in the war was commemorated through various historical sites and museums such as the Colleton County Museum, which offers insight to the revolutionary war battles fought in the county and the local figures who contributed to the fight for independence.
