Savannah, GA to South Carolina with a quick visit to Cali. We've been able to explore the sacred grounds of many Civil War and Revolutionary War historical sites. Time with family and friends has been truly rejuvenating, filling my heart with joy.
Savannah, a coastal Georgia city, is separated from South Carolina by the Savannah River. It’s known for manicured parks, horse-drawn carriages and antebellum architecture. Its historic district is filled with cobblestoned squares and parks such as Forsyth Park shaded by oak trees covered with Spanish moss. At the center of this picturesque district is the landmark, Gothic-Revival Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist.
Chippewa Square is one of the 22 squares of Savannah, Georgia, This is the park where forest Gump sat at the bench.
Tybee Island, a barrier island near Savannah, GA, has a rich history spanning over 400 years, characterized by its role in coastal defense, maritime trade, and tourism. Originally used by the Euchee Indians, it became a strategic location for Spanish, French, and British explorers, eventually hosting a historic lighthouse since 1736. Today, it is a popular coastal destination known for its preserved forts and beaches
Lieutenant Henry S. Farley, under the command of P.G.T. Beauregard, fired a 10-inch mortar shot from Fort Johnson, which exploded over Fort Sumter, serving as the signal to commence the general bombardment.
The first shots of the American Civil War were fired by Confederate forces on the Union-held Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbor, South Carolina, on April 12, 1861, at 4:30 a.m.. This initiated a 34-hour bombardment, leading to the fort's surrender and marking the official start of the armed conflict
