7th Battalion, SC Infantry
Hope somebody can help me on a matter of unit identification.I'm doing some research on the 7th South Carolina Infantry Battalion.They were on Morris Island when Union forces landed there 7/10/1863.At that time they were somewhere on the south end of the island, and suffered several casualties in the Union bombardment and subsequent landing.
Eight days later, a Union brigade made an unsuccessful assault on Battery Wagner, on the north end of the island.This is the attack memorialized in the movie "Glory."I have a reference that shows the defending Confederate units in Battery Wagner, and one of them is listed as the "Charleston Battalion."What I'm wondering is if the Charleston Battalion and the 7th Battalion were the same unit?Anybody know about this?
