Southern Horror #65

Southern Horror #65 (The Carolinas 33 of 35) by Kris Graves A canon at Fort Moultrie on Sullivan's Island, South Carolina. It was built to protect the city during the American Revolutionary War. Sullivan's Island was the point of entry for over forty percent of enslaved people in the United States. While this was going on, I was commissioned by National Geographic to photograph memorials, monuments, and sites of the antebellum South. My friend Marshall Scheuttle and I drove approximately 4000 miles across eight southern states making photographs of every site we could find. Some have been removed, most remain in place.
