1 magg 1780 anni - Chaos rained in both the military and government after the surrender of Charles Town

Descrizione:

Not only was the South Carolina military situation confused, the state's legislators were essentially no longer in business after the fall of Charles Town. Many had remained in the capital during the siege of Charles Town and barely escaped when the city capitulated, and they were barely able to continue any form of resistance from their remote locations. Many others were captured and sent to St. Augustine as prisoners of war. It was not until 1782 that another meeting of the legislature could be called, and it was January of 1783 before regular sessions could again be held.
