have long feared…..That may sins would return to visit me. And the cost is more than I can bear.
“Our first order of business….”
“and our last , if we vote a levy!”
“Order, order”
“Mr. Simms, you do not have the floor. First, an address by colonel Harry Burwell of the continental army. Colonel Burwell.”
“You all know why I’m here. I’m not an orator. And I would not try to convince you of the worthiness of our cause. I’m a soldier. And we are at war.
From Philadelphia, we expect a declaration of independence. Eight of the thirteen colonies have levied money in support of a continental army. I ask that South Carolina be the ninth.”
“Massachusetts and Virginia may be at war but South Carolina is not!”
“Hear, hear.”
“This is not a war for the independence of one or two colonies but for the independence of one nation.”

Dear Thomas:
Though many seasons have passed it seems like only yesterday when we last saw each other in Charles Town. With great sadness, I learn of it’s recent fall to the British under general Cornwallis. I received a letter from Aunt charlotte saying that she closed her home in Charles Town after the city fell and moved to her plantation on the Santee.
Here in the north, our campaign has been marked by defeat and privation. Our losses have been grievous. My good friend, Peter Cuppin, fell at Elizabethtown. We are told that soon we will march with General Gates to fights the Redcoats under Cornwallis.
I envy you your youth and distance from this conflict of which I am a part. But I consider myself fortunate to be serving the cause of Liberty. And though I fear death each day in prayer I reaffirm my willingness if necessary, to give my life in it’s service. Pray for me. But above all, pray for the cause.

“Halt!”
“Make ready!”
“Take aim!”
“FIRE!”

As the war wages on, Cornwallis and Colonel William Tavington are holding up Charles Town in South Carolina.
People there are having ahard time leaving, if they don't get killed first.
The houses there are now being held as places for the soldiers to stay and sleep.
while cornwallis is preparing his next plan of attack, col. Tavington makes he's rounds around the town, taking prisoners, women and finding loyalists.
While this is going on, the Martin men are holding their ground as Malitia.
Gathering mere farmers for the job, they are gaining more and more each day.
Aunt Charolotte and the girls are at her Plantaion on the Snatee, eagerly awaiting whatever news they can get.
