North St.\, Greenville\, SC 29615 \n DISCUSSIONS are NOT costumed performances. They are an opportunity to get to know the performers and discover what they think about their characters. \n Plenty of free parking. \n About Captain Henry Felder \n Captain Henry Felder (Hans Henrich Felder) was born in Switzerland and immigrated to South Carolina in 1735 at age nine with his parents who settled in the backcountry. He became a merchant farmer and was appointed to the Royal court system. After witnessing deep corruption and tyranny in his district from the Royal judges\, he tried to reason with them and petition George III but was rejected at every turn. The Crown responded with more taxes\, then violence. Felder cast his lot with the independence movement and is celebrated for his passionate\, eloquent fight for freedom by writing his Address and Declaration of Separation from the English King seven weeks before Jefferson’s Declaration of Independence. He was appointed by patriot leadership to make gunpowder and gather artillery. Felder then formed a militia company along with his seven sons and fought tyranny across the colony. His story is one of risking his life and family\, taking a revolutionary stand against the most powerful army in the world of that era\, a fight to defend God-given birthrights for all people.\n _____________ \n For the 250th anniversary of America’s Revolutionary War – Chautauqua explores “Revolutionary Americans.” We celebrate those in the Carolinas who fought for freedom and those who continued to fight to make America a more perfect union.

North St.\, Greenville\, SC 29615. Plenty of free parking. \n DISCUSSIONS are NOT costumed performances as are the other festival events. They are an opportunity to get to know the performers and discover what they think about their characters. \n https://historycomesalive.org/ \n About Rebecca Motte \n Rebecca Brewton Motte was raised in a wealthy family in Charleston and\, along with her brother\, Miles Brewton\, became a passionate patriot by 1770. She and her husband\, Jacob Motte (descended from Huguenots)\, began courageously supplying the newly gathered Continental army in 1775. Rebecca continued to do so after Jacob died early in 1780\, even cleverly hiding her daughters in the attic from British officers during their occupation of her Charleston home following the invasion of Charleston on May 12 of that year. Later in 1780 the British allowed her to move to her other home on the Congaree River which\, ironically\, the Redcoats seized also\, calling it Fort Motte. In 1781\, Francis Marion (the Swamp Fox)\, Henry “Lighthorse Harry” Lee and Patriot forces arrived to fight. The enterprising Rebecca offered surprising tools to destroy the British garrison and force surrender of her occupied country home. She emerged as one of South Carolina’s bravest\, most undaunted and wittiest individuals.\n _____________ \n For the 250th anniversary of America’s Revolutionary War – Chautauqua explores “Revolutionary Americans.” We celebrate those in the Carolinas who fought for freedom and those who continued to fight to make America a more perfect union.
