I reckon the soldiers defending South Carolina had experience as small game hunters, and were familiar with knowing their targets before wasting valuable ammunition.
Thank you Tara. Victory like the one at Fort Sullivan in South Carolina must have been a significant morale booster for the Patriots. Outgunned and out manned, the Patriots were successful in retaining control of that unfinished Fort.
Sir Peter Parker ? ? ? ? Are you telling me that Spider-Man was on the side of the British ? ( Not everyone can be 70 and 12 at the same time, but I pull it off) Actually, another good history lesson !
I shared on Facebook as well, but this is such an amazing story of "against all odds" as someone else has said. Thank you for taking the time to share these.
I learned about this battle when I was a lad in my school's "South Carolina History" class, which we were required to take. It's a great story--true, too!

It has to be a very valuable resource with a significant meaning to earn a place on the State Flag. Interesting fact!

Thank you, Tara, for another GREAT story of victory “against all odds”!
The first "Greatest Generation" paved the way for all others! Thanks Tara!!!

🇺🇲 American spirit, sand and palmetto trees, quite the combination.
Thanks, TR 🇺🇲
I did not know that Fort Sumter was made of Palemto logs and sand. I can understand that would be very hard to damage readily!
Thank you
