The Papers of Henry Laurens
Overthrowing Royal Government in South Carolina:
August 18, 1775--September 22, 1775
Henry Laurens (1724-1792) led the movement to overthrow
British rule during the American Revolution--first in his native state
of South Carolina and then as President of the Continental Congress (1777-1778).
The documents in this mini-edition highlight the American patriots' successful
efforts to oust the royal governor of South Carolina in the fall of 1775.
