When we moved to Lake Wylie 12 years ago, we expected to find a great deal of history on the Civil War. After all, South Carolina was the first State to secede from the Union and was located in the heart of the South. To our surprise, we found that most of the war history related to the Revolutionary War. In fact, most of the battles and skirmishes of the Revolutionary War took place in South Carolina, not New England. The turning point of the Revolutionary War was the one hour Battle of Kings Mountain on October 7, 1780. The battle grounds are now part of Kings Mountain National Military Park, open to the public 9am to 5pm weekdays, and 9am to 6pm on weekends. The cost is FREE. Take the family, bring the dog, walk the trail to the battle grounds, and learn some American History Located... 07/24/2008
