SUMMARY:Revolution in the Carolinas
DESCRIPTION:The Quaker and the Gamecock: Nathanael Greene\, Thomas Sumter\, and the Revolutionary War for the Soul of the South \nPresented by Andrew Waters \n* SOLD OUT *\nAmong the many American Patriots active in the South during the American Revolution\, no two were more different than General Nathanael Greene and Brigadier General Thomas Sumter. Though the two men shared the ultimate goal of independence for the thirteen colonies\, they clashed time and time again on how to achieve that goal. Greene was burdened with the heavy responsibility of commanding the Continental Army forces across the South\, trying to prove constantly that he was the right man for the job. Sumter led a local militia in South Carolina and reported to the General\, but his desire for personal revenge often influenced his actions. While working together led to difficulties\, they were both vital to patriot victory in the South. \nAndrew Waters is a writer\, editor\, and conservationist residing in Spartanburg\, South Carolina. He is the editor of three slave narrative collections\, and his articles and short stories have appeared in numerous publications. Andrew’s recent work focuses on the American Revolution in the Carolinas. \n \n  \n  \nRevolution in the Carolinas is generously sponsored by:\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Lunchbox Learning
DESCRIPTION:Empowering Communities: How Electric Cooperatives Transformed Rural South Carolina\nPresented by Dr. Lacy K. Ford\, University of South Carolina \nEarly in the twentieth century\, for-profit companies such as Duke Power and South Carolina Electric and Gas brought electricity to populous cities and towns across South Carolina\, while rural areas remained in the dark. It was not until the advent of publicly owned electric cooperatives in the 1930s that the South Carolina countryside was gradually introduced to the conveniences of life with electricity. Today\, electric cooperatives serve more than a quarter of South Carolina’s citizens and more than seventy percent of the state’s land area\, bringing not only power but also high-speed broadband to rural communities. \nThe rise of “public” power—electricity serviced by member-owned cooperatives and sanctioned by federal and state legislation—is a complicated saga encompassing politics\, law\, finance\, and rural economic development. Empowering Communities examines how the cooperatives helped bring fundamental and transformational change to the lives of rural people in South Carolina\, from light to broadband. \nDr. Lacy Ford served as Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences\, USC’s largest and oldest college\, July 2016 to December 2020.   Prior to becoming Dean\, Ford served as Senior Vice Provost & Dean of Graduate Studies at the USC from 2010-2016. He is the author of Deliver Us From Evil: The Slavery Question in the Old South and a number of articles on the history of the South. He coauthored Empowering Communities: How Electric Cooperatives Transformed Rural South Carolina with Jared Bailey. \n \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLunchbox Learning is generously sponsored by:
