this map is from the history of south carolina and the revolution by south carolina historian edward mccready published in 1902. i have highlighted the major battles that involved continental soldiers. you can see there was quite a lot going on during that period as evidenced by the little red #'s all over the state. why i had heard so much about the war in the northern states but knew very little about what happened in the south. well may be that when the south lost the civil war, our nation's historical narrative came under control of northern historians who greatly diminished the role of the south in winning the revolutionary war. fortunately, about the time of the bicentennial in 1976 interest in the revolutionary war surged and interest in what happened in the south was revived. in the 1990's we began to see more writing on the subject of the war in the south. there's been quite a number of good books published since then. the war in the south has even made it to the silver screen. promote thed never patriots starring mel gibson as the pinnacle of historical accuracy, it does ha

one health care company in south carolina. why? >> because of you. because of you. >> why are -- [ inaudible ] has anybody here lost their coverage from their employer? >> because of you. >> see, here's what i think is going to happen if we don't fix it. if we don't fix it, those of you who raised your hand to get your coverage through your company, they're going to drop it because it will be easier to pay the fine than it will be to cover you because the costs went up 27%. so -- [ inaudible ] how many of you -- how many of you would like to keep your company health care? that's a good question. how many of you want single payer health care coverage? you don't vote for me because i think that's a lousy idea. so -- [ inaudible ] so here's what we're going to do here's why we're going to replace obamacare. employers -- employers of affordable health care, employers are eventually going to drop coverage, and everybody at work for a company that is going to go into a state exchange, we're down to one company, one company you'll have no choice, i'll tell

1781, american militia colonel isaac hayne was hanged by the british for treason in charleston, south carolina. discussesor cl bragg his new book, "martyr of the american revolution, the execution of isaac hayne, south carolinian." in this illustrated talk, he discusses the details and death,ences of hayne's which was debated in the continental congress and parliament. it is hosted by the society of cincinnati in washington, d.c.. mr. bragg: thank you, and good evening, everyone. the introduction is hard to live up to, but i will try. it is a pleasure and honor to be here this evening with you. we are kindred spirits, interested in american history, but most especially the founding of our nation's country. i reside in thomasville, georgia, 30 miles north of tallahassee, florida. i can say with some confidence that between 1775 and 1783, absolutely nothing happened in this part of the world. unless of course maybe you are a creek indian or a seminole. i am an anesthesiologist by profession. it is my nature to put people sleep. i sincerely hope that won't happen tonight. i want you to know if i

with us from the south carolina association for economic development. bernie? >> thank you and welcome. i bring you greetings from warmer climates where there are smiling faces and beautiful places. [ laughter ] south carolina is a great place to be. we have urban and rural areas that definitely have slight differences. in south carolina, the unemployment rate in our 11 most distressed and rural count iies averages 12%, this is twice that of the more developed and you are -- urbanized counties. our three most prosperous counties is home to 40% of the state's bank deposits. what that translates into is that's where capital largely resides. whereas the rural communities, the 11 most rural and distressed count geez home to 4% of the state's bank deposits. at the same time, south carolina rich in land assets or 65% of our state is considered rural as far as landmass. now, some may say that that is a challenge but we see that as an area of great opportunity and innovation. one area that i'd like to talk about is allendale county. if you live in south carolina, often

one thing i tell you about south carolina, god dealt us a pretty good hand. the late joe cassidy, we put thousands of acres off to development. if you don't -- if you're not an environmentalist, then you're not a really good south carolinian. we've got a really good deal here. what i want to do is make sure that conservation is elevated, that conservation easements, we have more not less. where people are incentivized to take their private property and put in it public trusts. number two, i want to make sure we don't roll back clean air and clean water protection. that keeps harmful pollutants like mercury and other things from going into the air. the bottom line is, the bottom line is, we want to ensure that we don't overregulate to the point that you can't create jobs unnecessarily to our farmers out there, we want to make sure we don't regulate pesticides to the point where we put you out of business but we also don't want pesticides getting streaming and hurting the ecosystem. here's my view. the e.p.a. under obama went way too far. and new is the time to

[applause] the first thing we have got to do is pass a budget. you can't run the government without a budget, right? isthe president's budget going to increase military spending -- i'm all for that, but here is the problem -- [jeering] senator graham: let me tell you why i am all for that. how many of you depend on the military to keep you safe? how many of you are happy with the fact that 70% of the marine corps ca

i went into south carolina obamacare system. my deductible went from $750 to $6250 and might premium quadrupled. i feel is healthy today as i was then so the bottom line is obamacare for middle class people who are working is driving up your costs come increasing your deductible. they are taking money from you to buy it for free for somebody else and that ain't health care, that's redistribution of income. i want to improve your health care not punish people who work. >> this question is from susan from clemson. every day and environmental regulation is eliminated or whole department not wanted. but can you do and what can we do? [applause] >> the first thing we have got to do is pass the budget. he can't run the government without a budget, right? so the president's budget is going to increase military spending. i'm all for that but here's the problem. let me tell you why i'm all for that. how many of you depend of the military to keep you safe? how many of you are happy with the fact that 70% of the green court can't fly becau
