Description
Since the colonization of South Carolina in 1670, Irish people have been instrumental in shaping the state’s history. These humble Irish immigrants, overcoming a legacy of prejudice, soon became the heroes of Palmetto culture. The Palmetto State has a truly "lucky" past–Sullivan’s Island is named after the Revolutionary War hero Captain Florence O’Sullivan and two Irishmen signed the Declaration of Independence on behalf of South Carolina. Arthur Mitchell, distinguished professor and Irish historian, recounts the trials and triumphs of the Irish and their kin in South Carolina.
