About
During the Civil War, Hilton Head Island played a crucial role as the Union's Headquarters of the Department of the South. Learn how the island became a strategic location during the war — from the Battle of Port Royal Sound to the creation of a massive hospital, several forts, and a civilian town that housed tens of thousands of people. This program will delve into the remarkable figures that spent time on the island during and after the war, from abolitionist Harriet Tubman to Confederate President Jefferson Davis. You'll also learn what life was like for a soldier on Hilton Head and the origins of the island’s infamous Robber's Row.
