Cover art for April 21, 1775: portrait of William Henry Drayton, 1779. Detail from a larger engraving by Benoît-Louis Prévost and Pierre Eugene du Simitiere.

Word spread rather quickly about the events at Lexington and Concord, and everybody mobilized to be ready for when (rather than if) hostilities broke out.

Most people were arming themselves and avoiding confiscation of supplies by the British, but in South Carolina they turned the tables and did a little confiscating of their own.
