  • Summary

  • Ever wondered how the antebellum and Civil War eras shaped the cultural and economic landscape of the American South? Join us on Behind the Bluff as we journey through these transformative years with Katie Epps, Director of Cultural Resources at Palmetto Bluff. Together, we unravel the complexities of plantation life from 1784 to 1865, examining South Carolina's pivotal role in the Civil War and the profound impact of secession. Discover the challenges faced by plantation owners as they grappled with the cessation of the transatlantic slave trade and how these shifts led to structural and architectural changes across the region.

    As we move through history, Katie helps us spotlight key figures like John Estill and Wilson, who played crucial roles in Palmetto Bluff's slow recovery post-Civil War. We'll explore the socio-economic shifts and the lingering issues that shaped the Lowcountry, from devastating fires to the evolving landscape of landownership. This engaging episode provides a detailed look at the layers of history that continue to define this unique landscape. Prepare for a rich exploration of the past as we set the stage for the upcoming Reconstruction era discussion.
