Join Benjamin L. Cwayna for a virtual talk on the “Invincible Twelfth” and the bold, costly legacy of the 12th South Carolina Infantry.

The 12th South Carolina Infantry took part in nearly every major engagement of the war in the Eastern Theater and earned a sterling reputation for its drill and discipline. It became known for its impetuous, devastating, and sometimes reckless attacks and counterattacks. This boldness came at a heavy cost: by the war’s end, only about 150 of the nearly 1,400 men who served in the regiment’s ranks surrendered at Appomattox Court House.

Join Benjamin L. Cwayna for this virtual talk to discover what years of research and exhaustive study of primary sources have revealed about the “invincible Twelfth.”
