Wofford College in the Civil War


Back on December 26, 2017, I wrote about Wofford College defeating the defending National Champion University of North Carolina in basketball, a huge, huge upset.  And, UNC was ranked #5 of the time.  No ranking for little Wofford College, which is in Spartanburg, South Carolina.

I also wrote some about the Wofford during the Civil War.  Here is some more stuff:

**  "Southern Guards" unit was on campus.

**  Many of the students and alumni served in the Confederate military.  (Hopefully, if there is a marker on campus for them, there won't be any Confederate-haters demanding their removal.)

**  At least 36 of them gave their lives.
