Colonial Massachusetts - Massachusetts was the most important northern colony, as well as an important part of New England, where many American institutions and traditions were formed. Unlike southern colonies, it was built around small towns, rather than scattered farms. The Pilgrims settled the Plymouth Colony, and Puritan settlers traveled to Salem and later to Boston in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. As the Puritans gradually secularized and became known as Yankees, the Congregational Church continued to dominate most small towns. Late in the colonial period Baptist and other dissenting churches emerged, and the elites in Boston and other cities turned to the Anglican and Unitarian religions. The colony defeated some Indian tribes in King Philip's War in the 1670s, and fought with Britain a series of French and Indian Wars that were characterized by brutal border raids, and successful attacks on Canada. \nPre-revolutionary events - Massachusetts was a center of the American Revolution, with actions by the patriots and counter-actions by the Crown (including the Intolerable Acts) a main reason for unity of the 13 colonies and the outbreak of war, starting with battles around Boston in 1775-76. Also see Boston Massacre, Boston Tea Party. \nBattles of the American Revolution - Battles of Lexington and Concord, Siege of Boston, Battle of Bunker Hill. \nFirst Governor of the Commonwealth - John Hancock was the first governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. \nShays' Rebellion - Western Massachusetts uprising after the Revolution. \nU.S. Constitution - On February 6, 1788, Massachusetts became the sixth state to ratify the United States Constitution. \nSlavery - According to a 1790 census, Massachusetts had a slave population of zero. \nDistrict of Maine - On March 15, 1820, Maine was separated from Massachusetts, of which it had been a non-contiguous part, and entered the Union as the 23rd State. (See Missouri Compromise) \nU.S. Civil War - The 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry was one of the first African-American regiments in the U.S. military. \nThe Central Artery/Tunnel Project (CA/T) - Known as the Big Dig to locals, it is the most expensive single highway construction project in the United States. The project began 1991, with final construction occurring in 2006. \nRoman Catholic Church sex abuse scandal - In 2002, the diocese was found to have knowingly moved priests who sexually molested children from parish to parish and to have covered up abuse. \nSame-sex marriage - On November 18, 2003, the Supreme Judicial Court (SJC) ruled that the state could not deny marriage rights to same-sex couples under the state constitution.

some good sites:\nhttp://www.nature.org/wherewework/northamerica/states/northcarolina/preserves/art10818.html\nhttp://www.winyahrivers.org/bithistory.htm\nhttp://www.horrycountymuseum.org/ex_waccamaw.asp\n\n\n\nexcerpt:\nProbably no other individual feature of Horry County has been as important to the history and development of the area as the Waccamaw River. In 1734 Kingston Township was first surveyed with the town of Kingston (later to become Conway) as its center. The importance of Kingston was its access to the Waccamaw River and through Winyah Bay to the shipping lanes of the Atlantic. Rafting logs on the Waccamaw River required stamina and skill to snake the long rafts of freshly cut cypress and native pines to the great saw mills on the river. Rafters would live on the rafts, building shelters during cold weather and even cooking their meals on the floating logs.
