Independent historian Chip Bragg commemorates the 250th anniversary of the Battle of Sullivan’s Island, where Maj. Gen. William Moultrie commanded a valiant defended an unfinished log fort on Sullivan’s Island, located at the entrance of Charleston harbor in South Carolina, against a determined British naval attack. Drawing from his extensive research, Dr. Bragg gives an in-depth overview of the iconic battle—which occurred while the Continental Congress in Philadelphia considered a draft of the Declaration of Independence—and demonstrates how a garrison of South Carolinians proved that untested, but courageous, American soldiers could stand firm and prevail against British might at the outset of the American Revolution.
