Rose Hill Plantation is a "DiscoverCarolina Site", which provides curriculum-based social studies programs for South Carolina school children.
In the days following the election of President Abraham Lincoln, South Carolina Gov. William H. Gist was characteristically blunt: "The only alternative left, in my judgment, is the secession of South Carolina from the Federal Union." Today, Rose Hill Plantation State Historic Site interprets the life and legacy of the man history has come to know as the "Secession Governor." |
