@johnswoboda98095 ай бұрын
What a great video! I think most of us Americans forget, especially here on the East Coast, just how much history is often right beneath our feet. I worked for many years at a Colonial history site here in New Jersey, a collection of historic buildings from the area that were moved to a County park in the 1970s to save them from being demolished. The park itself is centered around the crossroads of what, like Dorchester, used to be a very bustling little river port that was also abandoned after having been largely burned down during the Revolution. It's wild thinking how many people commute through what had been the main intersection of the gateway to inland commerce in that area (we have a lot of roads around here that are very old routes, some even originating as Native American trails) without even realizing that 250 years ago, they'd have houses and shops and things on all sides. Thanks again for doing such cool content!

Interesting. Having read "The Partisan" (1835) by William Gilmore Simms, a novel occurring in the Revolutionary War with many scenes in Dorchester, it is particularly interesting to see the remnants of the town. I didn't realize that the church was such a substantial brick structure. Simms mentions, I believe in the preface, that Dorchester was already deserted at the time of his writing.

May be a bit closer to Summerville. But anyhoo, Charleston and the entire area has so much history just waiting to be explored. I lived on 17-A when it was just a two-lane road. My father's family homestead was in the area near Salem Baptist church and the old L&M store. Most of the land has been sold and the home recently torn down. We road all the way to Moncks Corner to go to school. Miss those times.

Been there many times. It was my safe-haven during Covid. A place I could walk and take my mask off, as rarely was anyone there. Many locals don’t even know it exists. Wonderful piece of history. Francis Marion (The Swamp Fox) was quite a warfare strategist and changed warfare to a gorilla style approach. Known as the father of the US Army Rangers. The movie The Patriot was about him (with some Hollywood liberties thrown in).

Wade Hampton and Nathaniel Greene were once well taught figures of SC history. SC education has dropped off even further. Remember taking multiple SC history classes from elementary school through high school in 80s and 90s. Crazy to think how young these men were. Greene died at 43. Hampton lived until his 80s and is buried here in Columbia. Was a major planter and slave owner. Sad fact is how few people realize how much history is in SC. It's not just Charleston. We also have a national park. Countless historical sites dealing with Native Americans, colonists, civil war, world war 1 and 2, etc. You can go down a lot of trails and find a lot out.

It looks exactly like it does in the movie " The Patriot" definitely worth the visit! Happy travels!❤

I would venture to guess because of the Carolina colony's tolerance re: religious faith. By the mid-1700's, folks from Pennsylvanis and elsewhere had moved down the coast for free land offered by George II, and the religious tolerance. Charleston had Huguenots, Catholics, Jews, etc.
