Living history
program at park
The re-created North
Carolina Highland Regiment
will be camped at Kings
Mountain National Military
Park this weekend and host
a variety of living history
presentations, explaining the
Loyalist view of the
Revolution.
Many settlers of North
and South Carolina opposed
the Revolution, Some chose
to stay loyal to England
because of heritage and fam-
ily ties; others to protect
business or economic inter-
ests, and some out of fear
that the Revolution would
fail. Many Scottish families
supported the English dur-
ing the war, enlisting and
fighting alongside British
troops.
Reenactors will discuss the
Loyalist view of the
Revolution, demonstrate
musket firing, and answer
questions about life in camp
for the soldiers and their
wives.
The event is open to the
public from 9-5 Saturday
and 9-3 Sunday. Admission
is free. For more information
call 864 936-7921 or visit
