Mary, you are so right, it is Scary. "my daughter about it, she is going to be a history teacher, and she had never heard about it. That is kind of scary." Charleston fell to the British - my gggf Lt. Nathaniel McCants was captured in the battle and imprisoned on British ship - he survived. Below you see where the Britts captured Savannah. The last great Battle to wrest the country from the Britts was the Battle of New Orleans, LA 1814. My gf James Harrison enlisted in Huntsville, AL. (originally VA). Also, my gf David Scott McCants of E. Feliciana Parish, LA. (originally SC), he was son of Nathaniel above. I don't see enough about the War of 1812 which was an extension of the Rev War.
