The History Of South Carolina

""The History of South Carolina: From Its First European Discovery to Its Erection into a Republic"" is a comprehensive account of the early history of South Carolina, written by William Gilmore Simms and originally published in 1859. The book covers the period from the arrival of the first European explorers in the region to the establishment of the Republic of South Carolina in the late 18th century. Simms provides a detailed overview of the state's colonial history, including the settlement of the region by the English, the rise of the plantation economy, and the development of the slave trade. He also explores the state's role in the American Revolution, including the battles of Cowpens and Camden, and the state's eventual secession from the Union during the Civil War. Throughout the book, Simms provides a vivid portrayal of the people, events, and cultural traditions that shaped the history of South Carolina, making this an essential read for anyone interested in the early history of the state and the broader history of the American South.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
