They were bitterly divided. For Charlestonians, the War for Independence was a civil war, as some favored independence and some were Loyalists. Many on both sides contributed greatly to the war effort. They were famous and obscure, rich and poor, women and men, Black and white. Contrary to popular opinion, people on both sides appealed to patriotism and fought for liberty. For the enslaved majority, the war represented an opportunity to gain their freedom--by siding with the British. In telling the stories of a spectrum of participants, Peter McCandless recovers a history at odds with public memory, encrusted with layers of forgetfulness and myths.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e History Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/14\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781467158732\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144","brand":"Peter McCandless","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51634851152053,"sku":"9781467158732","price":21.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_a8348ab1-43de-495d-b75b-dedaf0b505a2.jpg?v=1756789204","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/remarkable-charlestonians-in-the-american-revolution-9781467158732","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
