The cicade was a hotbed of independence in colonial times and served as the Confederate capital during the Civil War, when it was the scene of more than five years of battles as Confederate troops fought to defend it from capture by the Union.
When that finally happened, it was the retreating Confederate army that set fire to the warehouses, starting the fire that had destroyed much of the city before the war.
Patrick Henry, one of the founders of the United States, declared the famous declaration “Give me liberty or give me death” in St. John's Church in 1775, leading to the Revolutionary War.
