Hailing from Charlotte, NC a South Carolina native of Charleston, SC

How about a video on Reverend William Tennent a minister from Charleston who was an ardent patriot in 1775. The South Carolina Council of Safety sent Tennent and another minister Oliver Hart into the South Carolina backcountry where there were many Loyalists and use their ministerial skills to convince Loyalists to sign the Continental Association. At the same time Tennent was suing a man up in Connecticut for a shaky land deal in Norwalk Connecticut where Tennent was a minister before he went to Charleston. As it turned out the man in Connecticut that he sued was a Loyalist named Edward Jones who was later accused of being a British spy and hanged. I wrote a paper on this which I enjoyed. Thank you.

I appreciate you including the sources.

The American Indians were the enslaved people. Along with mostly indentured, Jacobite (negro), European people.

There were people who were here working the indigo industry well before colonization, so well before 1740. Don't write them out of the story, since these are the people you got the knowledge of indigo from. Also, Carolina Rice is from Carolina, not Africa; and so are the people. There is no evidence for your story about Carolina Rice, but there is river rice that has been growing all over the American Southeast for thousands of years. Look into that yall, and you'll be learning about the real indigenous American rice of the South. Look into things further, and you'll learn about real indigenous American Indians, like the Santee Indians, the black people that live in the Carolinas, today; not the people in the Northwest. Abandon the lies and start telling the whole truth.

I am confused about certain descriptions in South Carolina. I looked at a master’s thesis written at the College of Charleston, an interesting paper. The author as well as many other authors refer to the inland sections of South Carolina as the backcountry. Is that valid today or is it better to refer to those sections as the low country? I am from Connecticut so I am not familiar with your state however I am interested in your history. How do you identify the coastal sections such as Charleston? I hope I don’t offend anybody I’m just trying to learn more about your state. Thank you.

Fascinating presentation from a genuine historian. He is telling us about history that is not taught in schools. It was a different but interesting narrative. I am from Connecticut but I have an interest in South Carolina loyalists during the American Revolution.

I’m African American with 2% Mayan indigenous dna from Georgia my ancestry born and raised in Jacksonville Florida I’ve been doing research trying to find out could this be one percent from my mother side in Belize and one percent from my dad side says Yucatan both my parents from Jacksonville Florida your presentation was so great wants I started listening couldn’t stop you cleared up so much I have to have a video of this today is 9/23/2024 at 10 o’clock thank you so much.

Thank you for the presentation! I would just add that out of the 4,000 or so men involved in the movement, probably not all of these were involved in the more heinous attacks / disciplinary pursuits taken upon the citizens and law-breakers of the time. There are always the smaller percentage of violent & less civilized people in a movement that can give the whole a bad reputation. Also, I have noted in Virginia during the Revolutionary time period that the use of lashes & stocks was still used, even for something like being drunk in public. If there was no real law in the backcountry and these regulators were issuing punishments that for the most part were normal for the time period, how were they breaking the law if they were being “the law”? It sounds like the majority of the people in their local supported their actions. Another thing thing to consider is that most likely the newspaper publishers of the day were from among the wealthier, upper class population who benefited from & supported the crown and therefore may have been more likely to paint the Regulators as an uncivilized, criminal element and just as today, it’s the more “sensational “ stories that make the headlines and prompt people to read! Piedmont Trails (.com) and YT channel recently published articles, podcasts, & live webinar on the Regulator Movement of North Carolina that brings out some often overlooked facts about it.

Thanks for the scholarship. Many of my ancestors were Huegnots & rice planters there.

Great job!

I am a decedent of Thomas Nairne . I Have been trying to find family history back through Scotland. If anyone has any information on Thomas Nairne Scottish family history please let me know where I can find it. Thankful to have found this small video .

Great presentation well done

Thank you , for an honest and genuine presentation of our history. South Carolina has a lot of history, unfortunately, I would guess that it is underground, hidden away under a golf course, or National park..basically places where it is not easy to just start digging or exploring freely. The tunnels under the state house, one exit to the river, another pops out under the old CCI prison. The insane asylum on Bull Street ? Many questions arise and the main stream media as well as the well known publishers of our school books, seem to give similar answers and I know it's never the truth or only a tiny sliver of truth they provide. What was in our past that "they" want hidden ? Most South Carolinian's that I know, including myself, are not fond of liars or thieves. ~ hence one might say our history has been stolen or hidden.

Thank-You!

So glad to have access to this talk! Thank you SC Historical Society and Harlan Greene!

Huguenots were in fact crypto jews & crypto Moors

My 6th great grandfather was David Rumph Sr, Rice planter. St George Berkeley and Colleton

Rayanna from Texas! My Paternal side of the family ended Slavery in South Carolina and we have indications that we worked with rice. Thanks for sharing!

This was superb. I had at best, an inkling of the French and Spanish excursions into what is now South Carolina. I was not even close to understanding the facts. Thank you so much for this.

Can't wait for the lecture on Eliza Pinckney😍

Very interesting presentation! I had no idea of this history of SC. My maternal family goes back in SC to the late 1600's, mainly in the Georgetown/Goose Creek area. Gabriel Marion, father of Francis Marion, is my 7th great-grandfather.

Very interesting, well done!

Love our history. Thank you for posting
