Some of the most significant American losses and victories of the Revolutionary War took place in South Carolina, where military leaders such as Nathanael Greene, John Laurens, and Francis Marion, also known as the Swamp Fox, used guerilla warfare in a dramatic fight for independence.

Parks, battlefields, museums, and churches, along with landmarks in Charleston and the Francis Marion National Forest, bring to life key events and people in South Carolina’s 18th-century history that are often overshadowed by the war that unfolded further north.
