The Continental Congress passed resolutions placing six SC regiments upon the Continental Establishment. (18 juin 1776 – 24 juin 1776)

Description:

On June 18 and July 24, 1776, the Continental Congress passed resolutions which put six South Carolina State Regiments upon the Continental Establishment, bringing in the youngest officers of their respective ranks. It took the South Carolina legislature until September 20th to pass an Act acquiescing to the demands of the Continental Congress. William Moultrie later wrote that the Continental Establishment did not begin "paying" for these SC Continentals until April of 1778, meaning that the State of South Carolina paid for them for almost two years. Sort of understandable since South Carolina passed a law very early that these troops could not leave the state.
