E22 The Great Storm of 1900

Sat, 14 Aug 2021 17:00:00 -0400

September 8, 1900 the day of the Great Storm. The worst natural disaster to ever hit the US and our third edition in our six part hurricane season specials. This episode comes with a trigger warning. This storm was a mass casualty event and some of the events that took place afterwards were equally horrific.

I mention in the podcast about the Hymn "Queen of the Waves" it can be heard during the telling about the lost orphanage.

This may be a long one. My allergies are being dumb. Hey y'all. Welcome back to Laura the South with me, your host Kelly Crews . We're in month two of 2021 and it's already been a wild year. I hope all of you are safe and staying healthy for this episode. I wanted to honor Black History Month and chose to tell y'all the amazing story of Robert Smalls.

This man is a true legend and why there hasn't been a movie made about him is beyond me. So settle back, 'cause we're headed down to coastal South Carolina, where our story begins in the late Antebellum period. Just a hair's breath. Before the Civil War I,

Robert Smalls was born April 5th, 1839, in a small cabin behind the big house of Mr. Henry McKee in Beaufort, South Carolina. His mother was an enslaved woman by the name of Lydia. Polite. It had been long speculated. It has been long speculated that Smalls Smalls, it had been long speculated that Small's owner was also his father.

Robert and his mother were both house slaves. Robert was raised along the McKee children, though he was excluded from their schoolwork. During this time in the Southern US it was considered dangerous to educate one slaves. You know, education might make someone ask questions or get ideas. Robert's mother, Lydia worried that her son was living too soft of a life.

Along the mc, along with the McKee children,

Robert's mother, Lydia worried that her son gum at my throat. Robert Smother. Lydia worried that her son was living too soft of a life growing up amongst the McKee children and feared that he would become too accepting of his law in the world around the age eight or so, around the age of eight or so. At her request, young Smalls was sent out to the McKees fields so that he could experience firsthand what his fellow enslaved people toiled in.

She at one point even brought him to a whipping so that there would be no doubt in his mind that the White Planter society firmly had a boot planted on all slaves necks no matter how free he felt while running along the river Banks with the Master's children. Her list. God, sorry, babe. Her lessons were to instill a defiance in Robert that wasn't appreciated by too many of the white men that Young Smalls would come into contact with.

He, in fact, found himself in Beaufort jails on a few occasions, always to be bailed out by Henry McKee in 1851. Robert. Okay, and God dang it. In 1851, when Robert was around the age of 12, Lydia made another request of McKee for her son to be found a place in Charleston so that he might learn a trade.

Robert's learning a trade would hopefully save him from the shortened life expectancy that filled hands faced. If a filled hand didn't die from the sheer brutality of the foreman or the overseer, then surely the swarms of mosquitoes he faced would. A trade might even save a trade. Might even save Robert from the vigilance of an offended white man.

McKee McKee secured young Robert a post at a Charleston hotel. Olive Roberts wages were sent back to Beaufort for McKee. Small was only allowed to keep $1 a week from his earnings. Smalls

Did you know that in 1943, Georgia became the first date to change its voting age from 21 to 18? Georgia lawmakers heard the outcry from the young soldiers old enough to fight old enough to vote and adjusted its laws. It took the rest of the country 28 years to also grant this right to those old enough to fight.

Today's story is kind of a twofer, as I like to call them, or maybe a two for one.

If you don't speak my brand to Southern, we're gonna have a little brief history of Fort Fred Rica, and that's the area of St. Simon's Island where Christ Church and its graveyard are located. Then two tales of devotion that lasted beyond the grave. So maybe that's more like a three for, anyway, on with the show.

Fort Fred Rica and the spirits of Christchurch graveyard only three years after the settlement of Savannah Georgia, the Honorable General James Oglethorpe has ordered the creation of two new fortified garrisons on the Southern barrier Islands off of the Georgia Coast in order to better protect his majesty's colonies from the Catholic threat to the south, the first of which will be known as Fort Freda.

Located at the north end of St. Simon's Island. Fort Fred Rica wasn't just a fortified garrison, but also a town, a quite sophisticated one sometimes compared to that of Williamsburg, Virginia. The main street running through the town was known as the Broad Street. Each business at home were built on equal sized plots and each were given a bit of green space for gardening, for Rica, grew all manners of fruits and vegetables.

From peaches to pomegranates, their plantings were quite diverse. The little military community thrived with the help from supplies from the English crown. But once the Spanish were defeated, Fort Fred Rica had served its purpose and the troops were disbanded. Without the support of the Garrison troops, the town slowly withered the final death Noll ring when wet remained of the town was destroyed by fire in 1758.

The lands on the island were then divided up and became large plantations, nearly all of whom would be served by Christchurch. The first churches were held by Reverend Charles and John Wesley in 1736. Upon the foundin
