The Federal arsenal at Charleston
fell into Rebel hands On This Day in 1860. Just 10 days earlier, South Carolina earned the dubious distinction of being
the first state to secede from the Union . The
Confederates controlled the Charleston Arsenal until 1865 when the Union took Charleston .
On This Day is a prompt I started this month to further explore historical events. I will make every effort to keep events localized to that of my research or research I am conducting for others. However, from time to time, it will simply be a subject that captured my attention.
Some posts will be brief while others may be more detailed.
