Lunch & Learn: Chaos in the Backcountry
Melissa Walker will explore the everyday partisan fighters in "Chaos in the Backcountry: The American Revolution as a Civil War."
"The American Revolution in the South is the South’s forgotten war, and it was a true civil war. Much of the fighting in the South took place in the southern backcountry, that frontier area 50-200 miles from the coast, and most of the fighters were ordinary backcountry settlers–some of them Loyalists and some of them Patriots. Learn more about America’s first civil war as it was fought in the Carolina backcountry."
Bring your own bagged lunch and we will provide the learning!
Event is free to attend!
