Description
The charge of soldiers at the battle of secession re-inactment in Charleston, South Carolina. Each November, The Re-enactment of The Battle of Secessionville is the featured centerpiece of Living History Weekend at Boone Hall Plantation. Hundreds of re-enactors relive that day that occurred 150 years ago � June 16, 1862 � when Confederate soldiers at Fort Lamar on James Island kept Charleston from being seized by Union forces. Despite being outnumbered by Union soldiers by more than 2-to-1, Confederate forces were able to prevail in this critical battle during the Civil War. The win marked the last time the Federal Army would attempt to capture Charleston by land. The name Secessionville did not come from the secession of South Carolina, but for an earlier attempt of some plantation owners to rebel.
