South Carolina, the first state to secede, had no single huge battle, a la Antietam, Chickamauga or Gettysburg. However, it experienced two of the greatest naval battles of the War in Charleston Harbor and Port Royal. South Carolina also experienced the wrath of Sherman's troops as they marched through the state in 1865. Columbia, engulfed in a great fire, experienced damage on par with Atlanta and Richmond. This book will examine several facets of the war in South Carolina, including Key Players (influential people in the war who were either born in South Carolina or had a great influence on the state), the secession movement, battles, the Hunley engagement with the Housatonic, military prisons, and South Carolina's role in the Richmond gold shipped south in April 1865. The final chapter looks at Civil War sights in South Carolina that can be visited today. Less
