The American Revolution in South Carolina: Wartime Experiences and Five Lessons with Robert Ryals and Dr. Eddie Lee

Dr. Eddie Lee, SC250 Commissioner, will present “Five Key Lessons From the American Revolution.” Dr. Lee is a renown historian who has taught South Carolina history for several years as a Professor of History at Winthrop University.

Robert Ryals, Public Historian/Historic Storyteller, will present a dramatic 1st person scripted program about the wartime experiences of Rev. William Martin, a fiery Scots-Irish Presbyterian minister who suffered the consequences for criticizing British actions following the Battle of the Waxhaws in May 1780. This SC250 grant-sponsored program was made possible through the ongoing support of the SC250 and the Lancaster County 250 Committee.
