The American Revolutionary War: Miracles can Happen: The Unification of Post Partisan Revolutionary South Carolina

This monograph analyzes the events that led to South Carolinas' uncommon democratic unification following the bitter partisan fighting of the American Revolution. From the study, the author identified common threads in events, or ideals that fostered the birth of a united nation following guerilla warfare within. The focus did not center on a model for construction of a Constitutional Republic, but instead the focus was on gleaning the basis for popular unity following irregular conflict.In today's era of persistent conflict and uncertainty, the measure of victory has shifted from those used in past wars. The capitulation of a massed enemy army is no longer the measure of mission accomplishment. Now, the establishment of popular unity towards a common good is the goal for successful extended peace following conflict.From the unique experience the Americans faced following the American Revolution, this work draws links between how Britain chose to fight the American Revolutionary War, the violent partisan warfighting of the separate American factions, and their resultant motivations in the rebuilding. The study follows a broad range of secondary sources covering the American Revolution for insight into the arrogant nature of the British parliament leading to conflict, the brutal nature of the war, and the commonality of thought and action between the two Colonial factions post conflict.
