It was a day of opposites - historically, this battle is known as the "Snow Campaign", yet it was 73 degrees outdoors! For years, this celebration has been held at the actual battle site, but on this day, the ceremony had to be moved because the property has passed into private hands. And the final difference - whereas 232 years ago, the Tories were fighting the Whigs in the only recorded Revolutionary War battle in Greenville County, SC, today the inhabitants get along fairly well with each other and the descendants of those warring factions met at the same place, and at the same time, to honor their ancestors.
