SUMMARY:Liberation Day at Fort Thicketty
DESCRIPTION:LIBERATION DAY AT THICKETTY FORT184 Goucher Creek Road • Gaffney\, SC 29340 \nStep back to the summer of 1780 and witness the dramatic moment when liberty returned to the Backcountry. \nJoin us at historic Fort Thicketty\, a pivotal site in the Southern Campaign of the American Revolution. Originally built by early Scotch-Irish settlers as protection against frontier threats\, the fort later became a Loyalist stronghold under Captain Patrick Moore. From behind its abatis and stockade\, Tory raiders struck Whig families throughout the Greater Grindal Shoals community. \nThen came the turning point. \nIn July 1780\, Patriot forces under Colonels Isaac Shelby\, Elijah Clarke\, and William Hampton surrounded the fort. Outnumbered and faced with the determined resolve of the Overmountain Men and Spartan Regiment militia\, the Loyalists surrendered without a shot. Ninety-three prisoners and hundreds of weapons were taken\, striking an early blow for independence in what would become Cherokee County. \nLiberation Day commemorates that bold stand for freedom. Experience living history demonstrations\, engaging interpretation\, and the powerful story of neighbor against neighbor in a Revolutionary War civil conflict that shaped our region. \nBring your family and rediscover the courage\, conviction\, and community spirit that helped turn the tide in the South Carolina Backcountry. \nFor further information\, call the Cherokee County Museum at 864-489-3988. \nCome stand where liberty prevailed!

SUMMARY:Battle of Cedar Springs: How Spartanburg Got Its Name
DESCRIPTION:BATTLE OF CEDAR SPRINGS REENACTMENTJuly 18 • 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM140 Cedar Springs Place • Spartanburg\, SC 29302 \nJoin us as we honor one of Spartanburg County’s earliest Revolutionary War victories—and one of its bravest women. \nDuring the Revolution\, Patriot leader John Thomas was captured and confined at Ninety Six. His wife\, Jane Black Thomas\, followed him on a grueling sixty-mile journey. Along the way\, she overheard Loyalist women discussing a planned attack on the Patriot camp at Cedar Springs the next night. Without hesitation\, Mrs. Thomas mounted her horse and rode sixty miles back through dangerous territory to warn the men at Cedar Springs—where her son\, Colonel John Thomas\, Jr.\, was among the officers. \nBecause of her warning\, the Patriots were prepared. The victory at Cedar Springs\, though small\, became the first show of organized resistance to Major Patrick Ferguson in the Spartan District and gave new courage to the Whig cause. \nJane Thomas’s courage did not end there. When Loyalists later attempted to seize arms and ammunition stored at her home\, she and her son-in-law\, Josiah Culbertson\, defended the supplies from the upper floor of the house\, forcing the attackers to retreat. The preserved powder would later supply Patriot forces at Rocky Mount and Hanging Rock. \nExperience this powerful story\, brought to life through musket demonstrations\, living-history camps\, and battlefield interpretation. \nCome stand where resistance began—and where a woman’s 60-mile ride on horseback helped change the course of the Southern Campaign.

SUMMARY:The Patriot (FILM)
DESCRIPTION:Released in 2000\, The Patriot is an epic historical action drama directed by Roland Emmerich and set against the backdrop of the American Revolutionary War. The film stars Mel Gibson as Benjamin Martin\, a South Carolina farmer and widower who hopes to avoid further conflict after his past experiences in war. When violence reaches his doorstep and threatens his family\, Martin is compelled to take up arms\, emerging as a determined leader within the local militia. Alongside powerful performances by Heath Ledger and Jason Isaacs\, the film blends large scale battle sequences with an intimate family centered story. \nThe story explores themes of sacrifice\, personal loss\, and the moral cost of war\, focusing on how ordinary people are transformed by extraordinary circumstances. Known for its emotional intensity and dramatic portrayal of guerrilla warfare\, The Patriot draws loose inspiration from real historical figures while telling a fictionalized story of resistance and resilience. The film remains a memorable and often debated portrayal of the fight for American independence\, balancing action\, drama\, and patriotic sentiment.

SUMMARY:Captain Henry Felder portrayed by Clarence Felder
DESCRIPTION:Special Father’s Day event \n at the Hartness Performing Arts Center on the Christ Church Episcopal School Campus at 245 Cavalier Dr Greenville SC 29607 \n FREE. Seating is limited and available on a first-come\, first-served basis. Come early to get a seat. Doors open at 1 pm. \n https://historycomesalive.org/\n _____\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 Clarence Felder is co-founder of Actors’ Theater of South Carolina\, executive producer\, writer\, director\, actor and playwright. His career in film\, TV and stage spans five decades. In Hollywood\, he co-starred for two years with John Ritter as “Bobo” Pritzger in ABC’s hit cop television series Hooperman\, Danny Devito in Ruthless People and Bruce Willis in The Last Boy Scout. He starred as his ancestor\, Captain Henry Felder\, in the award-winning film All For Liberty\, Daniel Morgan in Echoes of Glory\, Heroes from the American Revolution\, Henry Laurens in John Laurens’ War and wrote and starred in John at Patmos\, An Allegory. He spent twenty years in New York City co-starring in ten Broadway productions as well as starring in New York’s Shakespeare in the Park and Great Lakes Shakespeare Festival. Mr. Felder has worked with some of our greatest stars\, writers and directors; and adapted seven plays of William Shakespeare. Clarence has also starred in or directed most of ATSC’s 117 stage productions since 1995.

SUMMARY:Life\, Liberty\, and The Pursuit of Happiness Concert
DESCRIPTION:As the Revolutionary War raged\, music was the soundtrack. Ballads rang out in taverns\, gospel music swelled from plantations and Native American’s flutes consoled displaced communities.

The performances will be woven together by one of Charleston’s most well known singer/storytellers: Ann Caldwell. The venue for the concerts\, Sunrise Church\, has a view of where the Battle of Sullivan’s Island was fought. It is where the Catawbas fought alongside the Patriots\, and provides an opportunity to highlight that often overlooked history. \nFunding for these concerts comes from the Town of Sullivan’s Island and The South Carolina American Revolution Sestercentennial Commission which was established by the SC Legislature to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the Revolutionary Era and highlight the state’s significant role in securing America’s freedom.

SUMMARY:Discussion about Rebecca Motte with Chris Weatherhead
DESCRIPTION:Senior Action – 3715 E. 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.
