Remembering Charleston: Lessons and Photos from the Tour

Lessons from Charleston

After four full days, eleven historic venues, fifteen unique lectures, rousing live music and an abundance of Christian fellowship, we have returned from Charleston, South Carolina having completed our Patriots, Preachers and Plantations Tour. We are so grateful for everyone that joined us and their enthusiastic response to all we did. One of the great blessings of taking a Landmark Events tour is meeting men and women of the past that God used to achieved remarkable feats and demonstrate admirable character. While it is near impossible to communicate all we learned — much less condense it to a few paragraphs — we want to share a few images (and even more on the blog) of our tour and introduce one of our new heroes to you — William Moultrie.

General William Moultrie — A True Hero

“When I entered into this contest, I did it with the most mature deliberation, and with a determined resolution, to risk my life and fortune in the cause. The hardships I have gone through, I look back upon with the greatest pleasure and honor to myself. I shall continue to go on as I have begun, that my example may encourage the youths of America to stand forth in the defense of their rights and liberties.”

One of South Carolina’s leading patriots in the War for American Independence, William Moultrie was most famous for his victory over British naval forces on Sullivan’s Island in June of 1776. In April of 1780, the British returned and captured Charleston, and Moultrie was imprisoned. Close friend and British loyalist, Lord Charles Montague, anticipating the Americans’ ultimate defeat, urged Moultrie to quit the Patriot cause, and offered him a command in the British army. The exchange between the two men is simply amazing and we have posted the correspondence in its entirety on the Landmark Events Blog.
