“Wade Hampton III” Returns to Greenville
- By Bob Dill, Publisher
Eddie Rogers as Gen. Wade Hampton III
Eddie Rogers received a standing ovation for his portrayal of General Wade Hampton III in Greenville, Thursday night at the Phoenix Inn. An accurate recording of history would likely reveal Wade Hampton III to be the greatest South Carolinian who ever lived. It is appropriate that Greenville County has a highway and high school named in his honor. Two historical events tie Hampton to the Upcountry. Both of his great grandparents were massacred by Indians near what is now Greer. His grandfather, the first Wade Hampton, as a teenager survived only because he was away from the homestead hunting game at the time. When Gen. Wade Hampton III led the “Second American Revolution” during his campaign for Governor of South Carolina during “Reconstruction,” in 1876, a record crowd of thousands greeted him on University Ridge, the current location of Greenville County Square.

The Civic Center of Anderson was the scene as nearly 1000 members of the Sons of Confederate Veterans came together for their National Reunion July 22-24. These men are descendants of Confederate soldiers and for 115 years have met in “reunion” as their ancestors did after the War Between the States. The reunion hosted by SC Division SCV and Past National Commander Ron Wilson was a wonderful event and time of renewing of the southern spirit to defend the cause of the Confederate Soldier and his fight for Southern Independence.
