Very Nice. Sumter is rich in South Carolina history! I was stationed at Shaw AFB years ago. A wonderful place.
I was Station their at the AIR FORCE BASE. I HATED THEIR
From Columbia area. Researching my family lineage and have found my Native American ancestors in a Privateer Sumter SC
I also have ancestors from privateer, but hit a wall in 1880. Any documentation or resources you think might help?
That's the area I was born and raised and remain today.
My Family is also from privateer
Sumter, my hometown! Great video!, Thank you....
Enjoyed this tour. Also the history.
Excellent documentary. My dad and aunts were born and raised in Sumter. My Aunt Elaine lived there all her life. Her husband Harry Brunson owned the Dollar Loan Company in downtown Sumter.
I can trace my family lineage to Sumter, SC and one day hope to visit. I was disappointed in the full historical details in the video, that it failed to mention the impact of slavery and the lives of enslaved people in Sumter. I can only image the institution of slavery had a great impact on the vitality and community of Sumter. Not to mention the demographics of the location today, which seems to be 47% African-American (as of 2010). It would be great if the Sumter County Museum could possibly create more videos explaining the impact of slavery on Sumter, I'm sure I'm not the only one interested in the topic.
in 1850 the town had a population of 840 people 330 were black, no mention if they were slaves or not, another example of how history is taught in this country, i also wonder how some of this land was acquired from the native americans who were the original inhabitants...I wonder

Exactly. My Indian ancestors have been well documented in Privateer township Sumter Sc
I’m connected with several researchers who can help you greatly.
My family is from Sumter too...
I have alot of family history in Sumter, SC as well my family are the Remberts
My people are from Sumter from WAY back!♥️
My lineage comes from Edisto, SC. Charleston. SC. circa 1680.. Paul Grimball and the Reverend Pierre Robert (1st Huguenot Minister in SC) were both my 8th Great Grandfathers.
Ann Gregorie..her books..Thigpen book on Potters raid..
My mother and her parents come from Sumter. Life was miserable for black America. My Moms had a hard life.
My mother side from Sumter as well.
So true! It must of been horrible. I wonder why we are all from the same place. I have people from NYC whose parents were from Sumter. My family was from Winnsboro. Left in the 1920s.
Pull up the articles written by a Sumter native named McDonalds Furman who documented my Native American family right there in Sumter. A history documentary without the natives of the area is robbery.
I would love to hear about the native Americans and there history, all you ever hear about is African Americans, can you please point me in the right direction to find some
@@roslynbyers5415 we are the true natives of this area

Search McDonald Furman papers.
@@stephonpeterson8853 ?
Charles James McDonald Furman was my great, great uncle, Dr. Richard Baker Furman's, brother. Both were fascinating gentlemen and McDonald wrote extensively on the Catawba, African Americans, women's rights, qand more. Richard was, at one time, the oldest practicing physician in SC and a wonderful artist. He provided care for both humans and animals, regardless of color, creed or the ability to pay. His diaries often mention accepting payment of a chicken or other trade goods. Many of their writings, drawings and papers are available at the South Caroliniana Library and Furman University.
This video is horrible.
My home town I was a Air Force brat Sumter was where I grew up still miss living there.
Same🤗
Actually Potters people didn't raid Sumter via rail..they marched from Georgetown via present day 521..passing through Manning..where they met resistance and proceeded to Dingles mill..from there they went into Sumter..encamped in the Morris college and Broad street areas..raids in the surrounding area took them to Manchester where they destroyed the Wilmington and Manchester railroads and rolling stock full of munitions that had been evacuated to that area by Southern Forces...establishing headquarters at Millford plantation..Potter spared the place upon leaving for its unique beauty..Allan Thigpen and Tom Elmore have written excellent books on Potter..of interest Potters command consisted of northern units assigned to Quincy Gillmore out of Port Royal..some of these regiments participated in the siege of battery wagner..the battle of ocean pond (Olustee)..the 54th Massachusetts (memorialized in the movie Glory),participated in these actions..as well as the foray through the Sumter area
More items of interest..Joel Poinsett is interred at the Church of the Holy Cross in Stateburg..the old brick street was removed during the construction of the Sumter Town Mall,but later replaced to its current condition..the old Opera house became the Sumter theatre..and was accompanied by the Carolina theater(the Norths I believe owned it as well as the toy store across from it)..and the Lyric theatre on Liberty
Nothing avoids talking about slavery like a Confederate apologist documentary
I have found some very interesting history on slavery-historycollection.com/10-black-slaveowners-that-will-tear-apart-historical-perception/2/
@@teribendt94 What does your response have to do with a 30 minute documentary about Sumter SC that somehow fails to mention slavery?
If you don't care all of the wealth of the south came through violence, theft and exploitation just say that
@@TheNapoleonComplex1 My response has everything to do with slavery that was not included in this documentary or did you not bother to read the information provided in the link?
@@teribendt94 is it too late too late to sign up for the 2021 Olympics? Your mental gymnastics is amazing.
@@TheNapoleonComplex1,The truth stands on its own,No mental gymnastics required.
