blockade squadron off charleston for a day or two. which prompted a confederate commander at the time in charleston to declare the blockade had been lifted. though the was back in place again the next day. charleston authorities also tried to use, again, playing the technology card, semisubmersible david boats as thee were known. these have a steam engine plant. they don't generally completely go under water. just a little crest showing above the water so that stack had access to air. the forerunners of modern torpedo boats today. as well as we know, as a working submarine, the hl hundley which did sink a ship in february 1864. all along south-atlantic coast, the confederacy sowed torpedoes, today we would call mines. in the end however these innovative weapons and tactics while troublesome did not lift or break the blockade. and the union managed a few naval innovations of her own. like this one. more about which of course, later today. by 1863, the blockade was becoming increasingly effective. whatever the perception in the anti-adm

located almost exactly halfway between charleston and savannah, port royal was ideally located to constitute a base for the south atlantic blockading squadron. this time the naval mission would be led by captain, now flag officer and later rear admiral, samuel francis dupont who emerged as the union hero of this war. dupont's plan was pretty straightforward. as in north carolina, he would guard the sound, and once they were suppressed, then the army could come in and take possession. i've been tempted to say something about the navy winning a little battle and the army coming in and grabbing the glory, but i won't do that today. so on december 7 of 1861, dupont led a column of a union army into the sound. they developed a pattern of line ahead formation, passing the middle of the channel between the two ports and then turning to port to pass fort walker one by one at a range of about 800 yards, about half a mile. and after the third pass, the federal gunners had disabled most of the fort's guns, the confederates were down to only about 500 pounds of powder and accepting what seemed to them t

the picture on the right is from a slave quarters in charleston, south carolina. and again, it gives you a sense of how these door openings might have looked. such low height openings and simple casings are another typical detail found in slave quarters, and another subtle but consistent way in which the architecture of the buildings purpose built for enslavement reinforced the condition of bondage at every turn. by looking at the ghost marks, and this is not a super good picture, but that's the ghost mark there. an area of unpainted flooring that indicates where original wall partitions were. we can also determine size of the living spaces on the second floor of the slave quarters. three rooms we are sure were part of the original construction of this building range from 150 square feet to 231 square feet. and remember, the inventory indicates these were spaces where multiple people were sleeping, maybe the entire king or williams family in one room. in contrast, bedrooms on the third floor of the decatur house, which were inhabited by one or two people in the fa

temperatures to the west as i mentioned 83 in charleston. 83 in columbus.rm 4 radar no rain to talk about. we do have some rain just off to the west talking about a frontal boundary that is making its way our way. that frontal boundary will move through overnight tonight in through the day tomorrow and right now some big time thunderstorms back toward the ohio river valley. we will see a chance for some thunder during the day tomorrow. but i'm not expecting a whole lot in the way of rain. right now going with a 50% chance of rain. here is your future weather forecast showing what will be happening here as we make our way through the night tonight. a few showers about 4:00 or 5:00 tomorrow morning so get ready for that but they should be out of here by the morning rush. don't be surprised to see a few of those sprinkles left over. tuesday around 1:00. tomorrow afternoon the front moves through. we will see a good chance for showers. maybe a rumble of thunder or two but i don't think we'll see anything severe and then we'll clear out as we make our way throug

they had a beautiful house in charleston. they had plantations in the countryside, and two of the daughters in the grimke family, sara and angelina grimke are the ones who become abolitionists. even as children they seem to have been very sensitive to wrongdoing. they noticed when they thought people were badly treated. sara, the older of the two sisters, started saying when she was still pubescent girl, she started saying that slaves should be able to read so they could read the bible. well, it was illegal in south carolina to teach slaves how to read. the younger sister, angelina, is also very sensitive to wrongdoing and exploitation, and when both of the sisters were in their 20s, they became quakers. they became born again protestants and joined the local quaker church. in their conversations with other people, they get more and more outspoken in their criticisms of slavery. the family tries to shut them up. the grimke relatives are deeply embarrassed by this, and some local law enforcement figures visit the household in

ships blockading charleston halfway between the two had to steam about 500 miles north or 500 miles south to get more coal. burning up about half of what they could carry to make the trip. for the long run this would not do. they needed a closer refuge. if a blockade was to become effective. and this led to several efforts to grab sections of the confederate coastline. and the first such effort took place on the carolina capes. the geography of the carolinas made it a natural sanctuary for both blockade runners and armed vessels of the confederacy. the barrier islands offered natural protection to the north carolina sounds. and the several inlets into the sounds offered the confederates sanctuary for their blockade runners, but also a hiding place for privateers and commissioned commerce raiders. in fact, so idealy suited was the area to this kind of activity, that it was used both during the american revolution and war of 1812 for the same purpose. and in fact even before that, in the 18th century, by pirates. here is a little known fact. blackbeard himself was killed on the bathe river
