Description

On June 28, 1776, the Patriots of Charleston successfully defended the city and its people against the British Royal Navy. Occuring just one week before the Declaration of Independence was signed, the Battle of Sullivan's Island gave a surge of confidence to those paving the path towards the foundation of United States as a new nation.
