To celebrate the release of Southern Rain tomorrow, I am launching a series of fun articles dealing with the history behind the story. I thought it might be fun to look at some the circumstances that molded the plot lines for the book and give you an opportunity to ask any historical questions you might have. Right now, I’ll give the list of topics I’m planning to cover. Let me know if there’s a topic you would like to see that isn’t mentioned, and I’ll cover it, too!
- French Huguenots in South Carolina
- Enslaved People of the Lowcountry
- Fashion on the Brink of the Civil War
- Societal Rules and Quirky Charleston Customs
- Kissing Cousins – Did People Really Marry Their First Cousins?
- A Break-down in Civilities – Rhetoric Before the War
- The Congregationalist Church in New England
- Abolition in New England
- The Navy Before the Civil War
- Rose O’Neal Greenhow
