This book tells the amazing story of the mostly forgotten and overlooked men who built America in the South, both before and during the American Revolution. It reveals the remarkable story of the Scotch-Irish, who not only tamed the Southern frontier, but also played an outsized role in winning the American Revolution in the South, where America's first civil war was won. The warfare in the South was more savage than anywhere else in America, especially beginning in May 1780 after the British captured Charles Town and took over the state of South Carolina, which fueled the rise of the partisans like Francis Marion, Thomas Sumter, and Andrew Pickens. This is an incredible and largely unknown story.
