South Carolina also has a state guard: http://www.sg.sc.gov/.
The history page has some interesting information:
The South Carolina Defense Force (SCDF) was organized into a Headquarters, four regiments of three battalions each, and at least one independent battalion. Initially those wishing to enlist or be commissioned had to be between the ages of 21 and 55, in good health, and of good character. The minimum age quickly fell to 17 and there are indications that a few men served at an even younger age. The uniform was to be Confederate Gray.
Good to know! Thanks!
“Bitter Americans still clinging to guns and religion.Yep, that would be S.C...
The last stimulus plan
Final campaigns in the Carolinas...
Sherman persuaded Grant to allow him to march north through the Carolinas, destroying everything of military value (100 mile wide strip ) along the way, as he had done in Georgia. He was particularly interested in targeting South Carolina, the first state to secede from the Union.
South Carolina didn't recover from this act until after the 1900's while the north had moved on. So, for those who don't know or can't understand why we still cling to guns and religion. It wasn't as far back in the past as the winners (union) claim..Guns and Religion was all there was left..
First state to enforce the 10th Amendment asserting state sovereignty against the Union ?
Fate of the free world starts here ?? wow
I speck the South and sister states have recovered enough for part 2..
Fact is, I fear this may be forced upon the last of (the remaining states, Americans still clinging to guns and religion), the free people from a worldly view that are left....... by design.
"Ours is a Constitution written for moral and religious people. It will not work for those who are neither." It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” John Adams
So, is this the last crusade? or the beginning of another one?
