Join Elizabeth Chew, Executive Director of the South Carolina Historical Society, for an engaging discussion on how South Carolina's narrative has profoundly influenced the history of the United States. Through numerous examples from the 16th century onwards, this lecture illustrates how the actions of South Carolinians and key events in the state contributed to the success of British colonies in North America, the colonial rebellion, the American Revolution, sectional politics in the early 19th century, the onset of the Civil War, and the Reconstruction era into the 20th century.
