SECESSIONVILLE The 10th South Carolina Volunteers Infantry Re-enactor Unit will be hosting this years edition of Living History and Battle of Secessionville Reenactment. We encourage you to make plans to attend the 2010 event. |

One hundred forty-eight years ago, June 14, 1862, a small group of Confederates soldiers from the 1st SC Artillery had just completed a portion of the earthwork embankments of Tower Battery located on James Island. The battery came under assault in a pre-dawn attack from an invading Federal force. The ensuing battle proved disastrous for the invading Federals. Outmanned 3 to 1, the Confederate troops stood their ground and won a decisive victory that would signify Charleston's strong defenses against the invading Federal forces. On November 13 - 14, 2010, history will repeat itself in the form of living history. Step back into time as men, women and children present what life may have been like during the Antebellum era. Become a part of that era with interactive historical displays. Come relive the actions of the men who fought with honor and courage as the 10th SCVI Re-enactors in association with Boone Hall Plantation bring you the 20th Annual Re-enactment of the Battle of Secessionville. |

The Battle
of Secessionville is normally hosted by the Confederate Heritage Trust, Inc, a
non-profit charity dedicated to the preservation of Southern heritage
relics and symbols. Our goal is not the glorification of war but the
education of the next generation on the horror and tragedy of it's
consequences, that courage, honor and valor are personal traits we each
possess, which we each must rely on when words fail and we are forced to
pick up a sword. |
