Daniel Elliott Huger House
The Daniel Elliott Huger House was the last home of a Royal governor in South Carolina. John Bull bought the property in 1759 from the estate of George Eveleigh. Eveleigh had built a house at 39 Church Street on the large lot that had originally run from Church Street through the block to Meeting Street. The land later passed through the hands of Bull's widow and then to his granddaughters. Historians have been unable to determine which owner was responsible for building the house, but it was probably built around 1760. The large double house (i.e., four rooms per floor with a central stair hall) is three stories tall and sits on a high foundation. The exterior has a stucco finish that might have been added following the earthquake of 1886. The three-story piazzas on the south side were added in the 20th century. Lord and Lady William Campbell, the former Sarah Izard, were married in 1763. In 1775, they were residing in a house owned by Mrs. Blake, first cousin of Lady Camp ...

American Revolution
The American Revolution was an ideological and political revolution that occurred in British America between 1765 and 1791. The Americans in the Thirteen Colonies formed independent states that defeated the British in the American Revolutionary War (1775–1783), gaining independence from the British Crown and establishing the United States of America as the first nation-state founded on Enlightenment principles of liberal democracy. American colonists objected to being taxed by the Parliament of Great Britain, a body in which they had no direct representation. Before the 1760s, Britain's American colonies had enjoyed a high level of autonomy in their internal affairs, which were locally governed by colonial legislatures. During the 1760s, however, the British Parliament passed a number of acts that were intended to bring the American colonies under more direct rule from the British metropole and increasingly intertwine the economies of the colonies with those of Brit ...

Man-of-war
The man-of-war (also man-o'-war, or simply man) was a Royal Navy expression for a powerful warship or frigate from the 16th to the 19th century. Although the term never acquired a specific meaning, it was usually reserved for a ship armed with cannon and propelled primarily by sails, as opposed to a galley which is propelled primarily by oars. Description The man-of-war was developed in Portugal in the early 15th century from earlier roundships with the addition of a second mast to form the carrack. The 16th century saw the carrack evolve into the galleon and then the ship of the line. The evolution of the term has been given thus: The man-of-war design developed by Sir John Hawkins had three masts, each with three to four sails. The ship could be up to 60 metres long and could have up to 124 guns: four at the bow, eight at the stern, and 56 in each broadside. All these cannons required three gun decks to hold them, one more than any earlier ship. It had a maximum sailing ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
