Archivist and musicologist Nicholas Butler talked about the military and social history of Charleston, South Carolina, beginning in 1776 when it was first attacked by the British. Though no battles during the War of 1812 were fought in Charleston, Mr. Butler argued that events leading up to the war and expenses for fortifications during the war led to the economic collapse of the city, a strong distrust of the federal government, and eventual secession from the union. close
