The Year in Revolution: 1780 South Carolina video chronicles the 1780 British campaign focused on South Carolina and features the Siege of Charleston and battles at Waxhaws and Camden, and key Patriots Benjamin Lincoln, Francis “Swamp Fox” Marion, and Nathanael Greene, and British adversaries Henry Clinton, Charles Cornwallis, and Banastre Tarleton. Featured video topics were suggested by our national network of Master Teachers Seminar alumni.

The Year in Revolution Series was produced with classroom use in mind. Beginning with 1775 and ending with 1783, students and lifelong learners alike will learn about each year of the Revolution through a comprehensive overview video and five “who, what, where, when, and how” videos. The animated series draws heavily from the American Revolution Institute of the Society of the Cincinnati’s library and museum collections.

Funding for Year in Revolution: 1780 South Carolina was made possible by a grant from the George S. Rich Family Foundation. The creative team for this series was assembled by the American Revolution Institute and the talented educational production leads at Makematic Limited/ClickView.
