Those of you that are military history buffs, the state of South Carolina is usually well-known for Fort Sumter and the Civil War. What many are not aware of, is that it had the most Revolutionary War engagements of any colony. The number of recorded engagements is somewhere in the neighborhood of 560 to 700! Followed close behind by New York with 497 and New Jersey 484. The Civil War so devastated the South, that much of it's prior colonial history is not that well known.
This research has been an amazing 10 year-long effort by a National Park Ranger, Mr. John Robertson. He has documented every Revolutionary War engagement throughout the world. This is his site. It even has coordinates of where the battles happened!
