SUMMARY:POSTPONED-Revolution in the Carolinas
DESCRIPTION:This lecture has been postponed due to the effects of Hurricane Helene.\nThe Grim Years: Settling South Carolina\, 1670-1720\nPresented by Dr. John Navin\, Coastal Carolina University \nAs the thirteen colonies were established in the “New World” the roots of the American Revolution were planted. The vast colony of Carolina\, divided in 1710 into North and South Carolina\, saw rapid transformation in its early years. Issues arose with the English Lords Proprietors\, trade with Native American tribes was lucrative but deadly for both sides\, and the growing slave trade at the Port of Charles Town led to an economic dependence on slave labor. It was in South Carolina’s infancy that religious\, political\, and economic turmoil laid the groundwork for the American Revolution. \nDr. John Navin earned his master’s degree at Boston College and his Ph.D. at Brandeis University. A Boston native\, John Navin joined the History department at Coastal Carolina University in 1999. He previously taught at Brandeis and Pfeiffer Universities. A specialist in Early American history\, Navin has published works that focus on race\, warfare\, gender\, and the impact of colonizing ventures on groups and individuals. In 2020\, he published The Grim Years: Settling South Carolina\, 1670-1720. \n \n  \n  \nRevolution in the Carolinas is generously sponsored by:\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Lunchbox Learning
DESCRIPTION:The Hidden History of the Dark Corner\nPresented by Drew Hines\n  \nThe Dark Corner is a region shrouded in mystery and intrigue. Both the oldest standing bridge and the only remaining covered bridge in South Carolina are found in the Dark Corner. An exclusive country club with a world-class golf course once stood on the craggy peaks of Hogback Mountain until the Great Depression forced its closure. The ghostly remains of the Blue Ridge Forest Resort can still be seen there today. The only person ever to die on the witness stand in Greenville County was Dark Corner resident “Big Alec” Campbell. A Shootout at a Baptist church high atop Glassy Mountain in 1891 exceeded the famous gunfight at the O.K. Corral in the number of shots fired. Drew Hines details these stories and more in his book Hidden History of the Dark Corner. \nDrew Hines is a native of Greensboro\, North Carolina\, but has spent most of his life in the upstate of South Carolina. A Baptist minister for forty-three years\, he is now retired and enjoys writing\, gardening\, and traveling. He received his undergraduate degree at the University of South Carolina\, and two advanced degrees from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville\, KY. \n \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLunchbox Learning is generously sponsored by:
