To recognize the 250th anniversary era of the
american revolution and South Carolina's historic Relationship with the united
kingdom.

W
hereas, the Province
of South Carolina was established in 1670 under a charter granted by King
Charles II of Great Britain, marking the beginning of more than a century of
political, economic, and cultural ties between South Carolina and the British
Empire; and

W
hereas, Charles Town, now
Charleston, South Carolina's first permanent settlement, developed as a vital
port of the British Atlantic world and remains a lasting symbol of South
Carolina's early connections to the United Kingdom; and

W
hereas, South Carolina
played a central and defining role in the events leading up to and during the
American Revolutionary era, experiencing one of the longest and most complex
campaigns of the war, with communities divided by allegiance and shaped by
profound political, social, and economic change; and

W
hereas, the
Revolutionary experience in South Carolina included the actions and sacrifices
of Patriots and Loyalists, free and enslaved people, Native allies, women, and
children, as well as individuals who sought refuge, protection, or freedom with
the British, all of whom contributed to the course and outcome of the era and
its lasting legacy; and

W
hereas, the
commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution provides an
opportunity to reflect on South Carolina's shared history with the United
Kingdom, recognizing both the colonial foundations from which the state emerged
and the enduring influence of British institutions, traditions, and global
connections; and

W
hereas, South
Carolina's towns, ports, rural communities, and Revolutionary-era landscapes
continue to serve as places of learning, remembrance, and interpretation,
supporting education, preservation, and heritage tourism across the state; and

W
hereas, the South
Carolina General Assembly recognizes the 250th anniversary era of the American
Revolution as a moment of statewide significance and affirms South Carolina's
commitment to acknowledging and commemorating the full and complex history of
the Revolutionary era, including the experiences of Patriots and Loyalists,
free and enslaved people, Native allies, women, children, and those who sought
refuge, protection, or freedom with the British, whose decisions and sacrifices
shaped the course and lasting legacy of South Carolina's history; and

W
hereas, the General
Assembly acknowledges the historic relationship between South Carolina and the
United Kingdom as fundamental to understanding the state's colonial and
Revolutionary past, recognizing the shared institutions, conflicts, cultural
ties, and human stories that defined this period and continue to inform South
Carolina's identity; and

W
hereas, the General
Assembly supports efforts to educate, preserve, and interpret Revolutionary-era
sites, landscapes, and stories across South Carolina in ways that are
inclusive, accurate, and reflective of the state's diverse historical
experiences during this once-in-a-generation commemoration; and

W
hereas, the South
Carolina General Assembly supports a thoughtful, balanced, and enduring
recognition of South Carolina's Revolutionary legacy, its historic relationship
with the United Kingdom, and the continued value of cultural, educational, and
heritage-based exchange that strengthens mutual understanding for future
generations. Now, therefore,

B
e it resolved by the House
