Careful manners, sparkling wit, and strong feelings as you try to remain calm even though your heart is racing…Is it because you’re at the ball about to dance, or is it because you’re in a field at the edge of town about to “shoot it out” with a personal enemy?
Dueling and dancing, two customs we think of when we picture life in antebellum South Carolina. For this year’s “distance learning” version of our “dueling and dancing” lesson, we’ll concentrate on true stories from South Carolina’s past.
One of our nation’s most famous battles had very strong SC connections. We’ll study the strategy behind the battle, the tactics and leadership involved, and the South Carolina connections. When we’re done with the Alamo, you’ll remember it!

In another globe-spanning session, we’ll consider some exciting sea stories, and how a lone ship and her crew could have make a huge strategic difference.
We’ll start the year with a basic overview of military concepts to help you get the most out of history lessons involving leaders and military forces – and yes, we’ll give you a template for just how to study, any battle you choose to emphasize. Enriching for any time period!
