Way back during the Revolutionary War, about 10 Patriots captured a number of British Naval vessels by cutting down trees, painting the trunks black, and “planting” them in the banks of the Pee Dee River in the Marlboro County portion of SC. When the captain of the ship saw the trunks, he thought they were cannons and immediately surrendered.
Didn't they come to be known as "Quaker cannons?"
