American Revolution Viewpoints Compare the different groups of South Carolinians during the American Revolution

First…a civil war in SC… ► Understand that not all South Carolinians agreed that the United States should be independent from Great Britain. ► The ideas of different South Carolinians during the American Revolution led to a civil war within South Carolina and had an impact on the success of the Patriot’s fight in the Revolutionary War.

Political Leaders ► Political leaders were wealthy white men who were the land owners from the Low Country. ► Most were patriots who supported the idea of independence.

► Political leaders in South Carolina created a provisional (temporary) government to control the colony during the war.

Soldiers ► American colonist volunteered as soldiers to fight in colonial militias and with Patriot partisan groups.

Patriots ► Patriots were those colonists who supported the Continental Congress and independence. ► Most were from the Low Country and fought in small militias (small army groups) in their own local areas.

Loyalists ► South Carolina Loyalists, who remained loyal to the King and Great Britain, volunteered to fight on the side of the British. ► There were more Loyalists in South Carolina than in any of the other colonies, except New York.

► Most soldiers in the Up Country were Loyalists. ► Many of the Upcountry people were not true loyalists in principal, but instead wanted to live their lives without interference.

Conflict in South Carolina ► Lowcountry Patriots and Upcountry Loyalists fought each other in the Revolutionary War. ► When the war ended…loyalists left South Carolina for the Caribbean or Canada. Others were fined or “run out of town.”

Partisans ► Partisans are patriots who fought in a guerrilla war against the British regular army. ► They overtook British soldiers in the countryside of SC by surprise in “hit- and-run” ambushes.

Women of the War ► Women took care of the farms and plantations when the men were away at war. ► Many served as messengers or nurses. ► Women either supported the Patriot or the Loyalist cause.

Many women in South Carolina were Patriots and supported war efforts

African Americans and the War ► Most Africans continued to work as slaves in South Carolina. ► Some served as soldiers in the Continental Army.

► Many in SC feared a slave uprising so at first the Continental Congress did not allow slaves to work in non- combat jobs like cooking for the army. ► Over time however, manpower was needed and Congress allowed slaves to work in the militia but not as soldiers.

► African Americans fought in the Partisan bands, but were not allowed freedom for exchange for their army service in SC. ► African Americans fought also for the British and were promised freedom. ► Note: Recall who won?!?!?!?

Native Americans and the War ► At first, many Native American tribes avoided war. ► American colonists attacked Native Americans on the frontier so Native Americans retaliated (fought back).

► Many Native Americans supported the British because the British promised to return land back to the Indians. ► The Cherokee strongly supported the British and attacked the colonists.

In summary… South Carolinians during the American Revolution included: Political Leaders PatriotsLoyalistsWomen Enslaved and free Africans Native Americans
