A Revolutionary Lecture – Divided Loyalties of the Revolutionary War

Like the rest of the South at the dawn of the American Revolution, the residents of May River Neck — present-day Palmetto Bluff — were caught in the chaos of a divided nation with neighbors, and sometimes even families, on opposing sides. Turmoil erupted among patriots, loyalists, and neutral parties who refused to take a side, fueling tensions that rippled through the colonies, resulting in an ideological clash that turned into a bloody conflict at Palmetto Bluff.
