The city of Charleston in the colony of South Carolina is a center of commerce in southern North America.

The city's citizens had joined other colonists in opposing the British parliament's attempts to tax them, and militia recruitment had increased when word arrived of the April 1775 Battles of Lexington and Concord.

Throughout 1775 and into 1776, militia recruits arrive in the city from the colony's back country, the city's manufacturers and tradesmen begin producing war materiel, and defensive fortifications begin to take shape around the city.
