The Council of Safety had begun improving and expanding Charleston's coastal defenses; eventually this culminates in a bloodless exchange of cannon fire between Patriot positions and Royal Navy ships in the harbor on November 11 and 12.
Matters had also escalated after the seizure by Loyalists in October of a shipment of gunpowder and ammunition sent by the Council of Safety and intended for the Cherokee.
The council had responded by organizing a large-scale expedition to recover the munitions.
On November 8 it had voted to send Colonel Richard Richardson, the commander of the Camden militia, to recover the shipment and arrest Loyalist leaders.
