Years: 1768 - 1779
About a third of combat action during the American Revolutionary War (1775–1783) takes place in South Carolina, more than in any other state.
Inhabitants of the state endure being invaded by English forces and an ongoing civil war between loyalists and partisans that devastates the backcountry.
It is estimated that twenty-five thousand enslaved people (thirty percent of those in South Carolina) flee, migrate or die during the war.
