Title
Colonization, Plantations and More in South Carolina
Author
Merlene Hutto Byars
Synopsis
Merlene Hutto Byars is widely known for her love of preserving history and by the books she has authored about the state of South Carolina- its past and evolution. But her new book Colonization, Plantations and More in South Carolina is distinct from the rest. Here, she presents an intelligent exploration of how America developed and advanced despite political and religious odds and the role South Carolina played in all this.
The text states, explains and reflects how this country evolved from being a mere colony of England to becoming independent. At the same time, it gives clear insight into why South Carolina attempted to secede from the Union and how a democratic system was ultimately shaped through an unavoidable interrelationship between the various forces and movements involved. Personalities who where instrumental in molding the culture, demeanor, ethnic background and social standing of the people of that era are portrayed in great detail, giving the reader a broad account of the individual as well as interrelated genealogy of some.
