This company is a part of the Southern Independence Brigade.
My plan with this company is be the ones called on for hold a the line on some of the hardest fighting. We will work well with any and all units in the brigade. This will be a a soild relaxed group that enjoys testing is tactics against other people. The rank structure will be based of merit. Promotions are earned.



Brief History to Antietam
The 15th South Carolina's first battle occurred on Hilton Head Island, the Battle of Port Royal Sound on November 7, 1861. Following the Regiment's service on the coast of South Carolina, they were transferred to Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia (ANV) in July 1862. There, they served in General James Longstreet's first corps in all of the ANV's battles from 2nd Manassas forward, including Sharpsburg and South Mountain.
