Happy 4th of July

The Barbadian Connection

Today were gonna talk about how the Caribbean and Barbadian people have influenced the Carolinas, especially Charleston. As the Lords Proprietors sent out the Barbados Proclamation, inviting those interested in leaving the island to undertake an expedition back to Charles Town. The Carolinas essentially became the "Colony of a Colony" a Colony of Barbados. The early Barbadian government was promulgated through the Anglican Church, the Epsicopal Church in the Carolinas. In the early history of Barbados it was illegal to educate the enslaved as it was the Carolinas. Religious groups such as the Society of Quakers, the Society fro the Propagation of the Gospel, and the Moravian Church were some of the early groups to violate those laws. To communicate enslaved Africans who were captured from different parts of West Africa and spoke different languages came up with a language that mixed West African and English dialects known as Bajan in Barbados and Gullah in the Carolinas.    Come Join the Facebook page at Whispers of Charleston : https: [https://www.facebook.com/share/1Kwy2wNjtH/]//www.facebook.com/share/1Kwy2wNjtH/ [https://www.facebook.com/share/1Kwy2wNjtH/]  Follow the Instagram page : https://www.instagram.com/whispers_of_charleston?utm_source=qr&igsh=MXY2dnNma3NycHF0ZQ== [https://www.instagram.com/whispers_of_charleston?utm_source=qr&igsh=MXY2dnNma3NycHF0ZQ==]  Come Join the Facebook Group : https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1HTUeeqqK4/ [https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1HTUeeqqK4/]  Subscribe, Like, and Share the videos: www.youtube.com/@WhispersofCharleston [http://www.youtube.com/@WhispersofCharleston]  Join the Patreon Family : https://patreon.com/CharlestonWhispers?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink [https://patreon.com/CharlestonWhispers?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink]

Happy 4th of July

Hey guys happy 4th of July and Happy 250th Birthday America. I'll have episodes out hopefully tomorrow

The English of Charles Town

Here come the English.  The English have alot more influence on Charleston than people may think. Alot of Georgian and Carolinian taste are simular, from furniture, to silver, to elegant pieces, to clothing, portraits, newspapers, gambling, spirits, and religion. Even though these English moved to the new world, the people still had vested interest in England.

Immigrants to Charleston

Today were talking about the Immigrants that came to Charleston and called Charleston home. Some fled to get away from Louis XIV because of religious reasons, others came over to start fresh. Over the next few episodes were gonna talk about those different immigrants that found their way to Charles Town and made it home, and how that helped Charleston become what it is today.

Mazyckborough and Mazyck Lands

Joseph Purcell laid out Mazyckborough for Alexander Mazyck in 1786. it was bounded by Chapel, Elizabeth and Calhoun streets and the Cooper River. Beginning in 1766 Christopher Gadsen and the Mechanicks party who called themselves the 'Sons of Liberty' met under the live oak tree many times to oppose the policies of Great Britain toward the colonies. The British cut down the oak tree to prevent it becoming a Patriot Shrine.  Mazyck Lands this area bounded generally by the present day streets of Broad, Legare, Queen, Archdale, Beaufain and Smith, was granted to James Moore in 1698 and conveyed by the trustees of his will to Isaac Mazyck in 1712. In 1742 the Mazyck Lands were partitioned amoung the heirs of Isaac Mazyck and lots were surveyed and offered for sale.    Come Join the Facebook page at Whispers of Charleston : https: [https://www.facebook.com/share/1Kwy2wNjtH/]//www.facebook.com/share/1Kwy2wNjtH/ [https://www.facebook.com/share/1Kwy2wNjtH/]  Follow the Instagram page : https://www.instagram.com/whispers_of_charleston?utm_source=qr&igsh=MXY2dnNma3NycHF0ZQ== [https://www.instagram.com/whispers_of_charleston?utm_source=qr&igsh=MXY2dnNma3NycHF0ZQ==]  Come Join the Facebook Group : https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1HTUeeqqK4/ [https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1HTUeeqqK4/]  Subscribe, Like, and Share the videos: www.youtube.com/@WhispersofCharleston [http://www.youtube.com/@WhispersofCharleston]  Join the Patreon Family : https://patreon.com/CharlestonWhispers?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink [https://patreon.com/CharlestonWhispers?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink]
