SUMMARY:Republic and Empire with Andrew O’Shaughnessy
DESCRIPTION:Join us in partnership with the South Carolina Historical Society as we approach our country’s 250th anniversary — we have explored many different angles of the Revolution – those specific to South Carolina\, further narrowed to the Lowcountry\, the thirteen colonies as a whole\, and much\, much more. But what of the Loyalists? Those who didn’t stand up to British rule and supported the empire and its endeavors? We are highly anticipating the return of celebrated author and renowned historian Andrew O’Shaughnessy for his latest\, another perspective on the Revolutionary era – perhaps a more expanded context from what might be more broadly familiar. Joining O’Shaughnessy in conversation will be South Carolina Historical Society CEO\, Elizabeth Chew.

SUMMARY:Conversations of Freedom Speaker Series: Partisan Warfare in the South Carolina Backcountry\, 1775-1783.
DESCRIPTION:As part of our Conversations of Freedom Speaker Series\, Dr. John Navin\, examines the brutal civil war that defined the South Carolina backcountry during the American Revolution. Moving beyond coastal narratives\, Dr. Navin explores the intense partisan conflict between local Patriots and Loyalists that transformed the Upcountry into a decisive theater of war. Attendees will discover how the region’s unique social tensions and frontier warfare shaped the struggle for independence\, offering a critical look at the “roots of the revolution” in South Carolina. \nDr. John J. Navin has been teaching American history at Coastal Carolina University since 1999.  He earned his Doctorate at Brandeis University and his Master’s degree at Boston College.   Dr. Navin has an unfortunate fascination with nefarious behavior and terrible events\, of which there are plenty.  In 2020\, his book\, The Grim Years: Settling South Carolina\, 1670-1720\, was published by USC Press.

SUMMARY:Revolutionary Reads: Drums Along The Mohawk
DESCRIPTION:Join us in celebrating America’s 250th Birthday attending Revolutionary Reads!\n\nApril’s selection is “Drums Along The Mohawk” by Walter D. Edmonds.\nWe will meet at Oconee History Museum to discuss the book and to talk about the history relating to the American Revolution. Readers are responsible for acquiring their own books.It will truly be a revolutionary time!\n\nDescription:When newlyweds Gilbert and Lana Martin settle in the Mohawk Valley in 1776\, they work tirelessly against the elements to build a new life. But even as they clear land and till soil to establish their farm\, the shots of the Revolutionary War become a rallying cry for both the loyalists and the patriots. Soon\, Gil and Lana see their neighbors choose sides against each other—as British and Iroquois forces storm the valley\, targeting anyone who supports the revolution.Originally published in 1936\, this classic novel was a bestseller for two years—second only to Gone with the Wind—and was adapted into a motion picture in 1939. Now\, some three-quarters of a century later\, Drums Along the Mohawk stands as a brilliant account of the majesty of the New York frontier\, the timeless rhythms that shape a marriage\, and the battles of a revolution that would change the world.
