Interview: Christina Butler on the British Occupation of Charleston

[@MichaelTreadwell-jo9bi]

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.
