EARLY LEXINGTON COUNTY HISTORY CHANGED AMERICA

Lexington County, South Carolina had some early and special residents that shaped the development of America. In modern history, this part of Lexington County was open territory between the townships of Orangeburgh, Amelia, Saxe Gotha and New Windsor and not known as Lexington County but today, the history and archaeology reside in Lexington County as do descendants of these early and special inhabitants. It is likely that without the influences of these early "Lexington County" residents, the state and our country might not exist as we know them today.

Forensic historian, Michael Jeffcoat has helped to uncover what has been called by a University of South Carolina professor and a state official, "...likely the greatest historical find of our time". Jeffcoat has more than one book in the pipeline and is offering lectures on segments of this very significant and all encompassing history. He gave a lecture earlier this year at the main branch of the Lexington County Library and has spoken to many other groups about this particular historical topic.

Jeffcoat offers a series of lectures that give just a snapshot of a segment of this significant discovery. This approach is necessary to gain full understanding of the history which is complex because of his forensic approach to a single subject. His research of just one subject includes the use of multiple disciplines and sciences as evaluation tool overlays against the single subject so that what emerges in analysis is a highly dimensional model of a single historical subject in relation to multiple subjects. His overlays include historical documentation, archaeology, genealogy, geography, geology, anthropology, tradition, theology, psychology, biology, land analysis, astrology, meteorology, physics, etymology and much more.

One of Jeffcoat's upcoming fall lectures is "THE MAKING OF BULL SWAMP & BULL SWAMP TOWNSHIP". His research and the lecture no only define this place as extremely important to South Carolina history, it is possible that without the events that took place because of the people in this region that America might have been on a somewhat different course. The implications of these long ago actions help to define the "politically and socially unique" South Carolina" that is known today against a backdrop of the other United States in the union. From the influences of South Carolina's indigenous peoples back more than 20,000 years to Middle Temple law practices of England that vastly shaped South Carolina to the political complexities that defined according to critics what seems to be a defiant South Carolina during the Civil War, Jeffcoat's forensic historical account links all of these seemingly isolated points of history with a common and logical thread that is epic in nature. The history expert and enthusiast find his findings to be on point and thought provoking. 

"THE MAKING OF BULL SWAMP TOWNSHIP" lecture series begins in Swansea, S.C. on 30 September at 5:30PM at the Swansea Branch of the Lexington County Library which is the epicenter of this significant history and the most logical place to kick-off this traveling lecture. The library encourages those who wish to attend to come as much as an hour early to secure seating. 

If you wish to book this or one of Jeffcoat's other lectures for a small or large group (school/university, church, civic organization, historical organization, corporate group or other), please email michaeljjeffcoat@gmail.com .

Jeffcoats say, "The making of Bull Swamp IS the making of America!"
