Detailed explanation-1: -South Carolina provided around 60, 000 troops for the Confederate Army. As the war progressed, former slaves and free blacks of South Carolina joined U.S. Colored Troops regiments for the Union Army (most Blacks in South Carolina were enslaved at the war’s outset).
Detailed explanation-2: -As such, two years after Loyalists’ property was confiscated and many were banished from the state, the South Carolina General Assembly readmitted most of the Loyalists-effectively reassimilating them into the fabric of society-without imposing many governmental impositions.
Detailed explanation-3: -Southern patriot militiamen proved their growing strength over loyalist forces at the decisive Battle of King’s Mountain in the North Carolina backcountry in October 1780.
Detailed explanation-4: -In June 1776 one of the defining battles of the early war took place on the South Carolina coast when revolutionary forces under the command of William Moultrie (1730–1805) defeated a combined British naval and amphibious assault at the Battle of Sullivan’s Island.
