    The Camden Burials Project | Episode 9
    Nov 15 2023
    In the fall of 2022, archeologists and forensic anthropologists undertook a rare project to excavate the graves of a limited number of soldiers who fell in the Battle of Camden on August 16, 1780. The graves had been harmed by years of industry and had been targeted by relic hunters. Leaders of the Camden Burials Project made the difficult choice to remove the remains of the soldiers and rebury them to keep them safe and secure. Little did the leaders know, they were in for several surprises along the way. ~~~ Mission History is a collaboration of Black Barrel Media and QCODE.

    As the summer of 1781 fades, the British high command chooses to establish a supply base at Yorktown, Virginia.

    A new American commander arrives in the South to lead the reconstructed Continental army.

The Battle of Kings Mountain turns the tide of the war, though the combatants will only realize it over the course of time.

    The Battle of Camden | Episode 5
    Oct 18 2023
    As the war in the northern colonies turns to a stalemate, it engulfs the southern colonies. The British capture critical port cities in Georgia and South Carolina, and then expand their dominance inland. During the campaign, a small engagement becomes nearly as infamous in American history as the Boston Massacre. Then, in a forest of pine trees north of the small town of Camden, South Carolina, the American southern army meets the British southern army for the first time. The battle is vicious, and devastating for the Americans. But it leads to a new phase of the war, one in which the Americans see a pathway to victory. ~~~ Mission History is a collaboration of Black Barrel Media and QCODE.
