To listen to the conventional historian tell the story of the American Revolution you would think that it was a war fought and won entirely in New England.

In this 33rd broadcast of TBR Radio’s TBR History Hour, Walter Edgar, Professor Emeritus of History for the University of South Carolina, shares the role that the South played in the American Revolution.
