Borick\n  \nIn Backcountry Resistance\, Carl P. Borick delivers a groundbreaking account of the citizen militia that defied British forces in South Carolina’s volatile Backcountry during the pivotal Southern campaign of the Revolutionary War. When Charleston fell in May of 1780 and the Continental Army retreated\, many assumed the Patriot cause in the South had collapsed. In the state’s rugged interior\, though\, partisan militias waged a brutal insurgency that challenged British control and changed the course of the war. \nFocusing on rank-and-file militiamen\, Borick explores how these ordinary men were recruited\, armed\, fed\, and motivated. Drawing on underused pension records and state claims\, he reconstructs their everyday realities and their battlefield experiences. He also examines the war’s devastating effects on civilians\, including enslaved people and women\, who played crucial roles in the struggle. \nRichly detailed and grounded in the human experience of warfare\, Backcountry Resistance offers the most comprehensive portrait to date of South Carolina’s militia during the decisive years of the American War of Independence. \nCarl P. Borick is the Director of the Charleston Museum in Charleston\, SC. He received a Bachelor of Science in Accounting from the University of Delaware and a MA in History from the University of Alabama. His previous publications include: A Gallant Defense: The Siege of Charleston\, 1780; Relieve Us of this Burthen: American Prisoners of War in the Revolutionary South\, 1780-1782; and The Charleston Museum: America’s First Museum. \n  \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLunchbox Learning is generously sponsored by: URL:https://upcountryhistory.org/event/lunchbox-learning-71/ LOCATION:Upcountry History Museum\, 540 Buncombe Street\, Greenville\, SC\, 29601\, United States CATEGORIES:Events,Highlight,Programs ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://upcountryhistory.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/2026-LL-Web-Banners-1.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260602T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260602T183000 DTSTAMP:20260514T134540 CREATED:20260115T170513Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260115T170513Z UID:14734-1780421400-1780425000@upcountryhistory.org SUMMARY:Battleground Carolina: The Bloody Summer of 1780 DESCRIPTION:A 10-month lecture series meeting on the first Tuesday at 5:30 PM of the listed months below.\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin historian Durant Ashmore in an engaging lecture series that explores the American Revolutionary War through the lens of South Carolina’s Backcountry\, a region whose people\, terrain\, and battles played a critical role in the struggle for independence. While often overshadowed by events in the northern colonies\, the Backcountry was a contested and volatile landscape where Loyalists\, Patriots\, and British forces clashed in brutal and decisive engagements. \nDrawing on primary sources\, battlefield archaeology\, and recent scholarship\, Durant Ashmore will examine key battles of the Backcountry\, the leaders and dedicated militia who fought them\, and the civilian populations often caught in the middle. The series will highlight how guerrilla warfare\, local loyalties\, and geographic factors shaped the course of the war in South Carolina\, ultimately and directly influencing the outcome of the Revolution. \n  \n\nJanuary 6  |  February 3  |  March 3  |  April 7  |  May 5  |  June 2  |  August 4  |  September 1  |  October 6  |  November 3 \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLecture #6 – June 2 : The Bloody Summer of 1780\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nRESERVATIONS ARE REQUIRED.
