Screven is forever lost in the shadow of acclaimed heroes such as George Washington. What a pity. Our Revolution would never have succeeded but for everyday men like him.
Another great example that MOST of the real heroes are NOT politicians and military officers...the real heroes were just regular people, following their hearts, dreams, and beliefs!! Thanks for today's lesson Tara!!🇺🇸👍🇺🇸
There was a lot of animosity between the Loyalists and Patriots of SC, GA, & NC. Events such as this deepened those feelings. In the end, the Patriots persevered and the British took most of the Tories with them when they left. Great article, Tara! Thank you!
Thank you Tara. Men like Mr. Screven sacrificed their lives willingly and some even under very cruel circumstances so that we might have the nation that we inherited from their sacrifices.
We owe our way of life to all who have died for our country and they deserve to have their names known to us.
This is what makes America so great & the peoples of the world look with awe. The promise of freedom from tyranny of any kind makes her worth fighting for. Thanks Tara love your post. How can I get a copy of your book. Actually need two. My husband & daughter, both teach US History. This would make a fine gift for both.

Seems so weird sometimes to push the like or heart button after some of these stories. Thanks for telling the good the bad and the ugly.
There are many unsung heroes in America's history. The feats only remembered by God and the angels.
This is such a heart rending story. So many unsung heroes. Another one who did what needed to be done with no thought for himself.
Thank you
Thank you, Tara.
