In this Sandlapper's Corner, we learn about the American Revolution and about life in the colonies during that period in time.
The colonists refused to buy goods that were taxed, including tea and stamps and nothing would do but freedom. This lesson discusses the sequence of events that lead to the delegates of the Continental Congress signing Declaration of Independence in 1776 and the founding of a new country. The story goes on to talk about the battles that occurred thereafter and the changing tide once France joined in to help the new nation. Continued in Part 2.
Sandlapper’s Corner was a children's educational program that began airing on SCETV in the 1970s. Produced by Dr. Sandra G. Thomas, the show was about South Carolina—its people and places, its present and past.
