SULLIVANS ISLAND, S.C. (AP) - A program at Fort Moultrie on the South Carolina coast is focusing on the role of Southern women during the Civil War.
The program called “Ruin and Remembrance” is being held at 11 a.m. and at 2 p.m. Saturday at the fort on Sullivans Island across the harbor from Charleston.
The National Park Service says that Southern women were some of the most vocal supporters of Southern independence. The program draws from their diaries and journals to describe what they went through during the war.
