Is your, city, town, or local known for any interesting events in history? Mine is probably known for three main things. The first is that we are most famously known for our city being burned down by General George Tecumseh Sherman in his march to the sea during the Civil War. The second thing we're known for is possibly being the birthplace of the Confederate States of America. South Carolina was the first state to secede from the Union upon Abraham Lincoln's election to office in 1860 and it was my state's secession that convinced the other Southern states to secede as well and form the Confederacy. Because my city is the capitol of South Carolina, the secession convention that began it all was held in the First Baptist Church here but the convention only lasted one day as there was an outbreak of smallpox in the city. They unanimously voted to secede before reconvening in Charleston to finalize the process. So us and not Charleston in my opinion has the distinction of being the birthplace of the Confederacy because secession was first decided here and only finalized in Charleston. The third thing we're known for is being the place where President Woodrow Wilson grew up. I've passed Woodrow Wilson's boyhood home many times. Also, before my city was ever even built the Spanish explorer Hernando De Soto came and explored my area meeting Mississippian Indians here.

Scythians settled long ago in Kharkiv. There some tribes of Sarmates lived.
When the first Cossacks started to settle here (it was firstly in XII-XIII centuries, and locally even more earlier - in the middle of the X century - by a headhunter Svyatoslav the Vampire) they called some of those places - "the muddy waters", or the swamp wells. Because there were wells inwardly the swamps, and frogs swam there.
There lived a cruel Cossack named Ivan Sirko, who killed many Moscow fellas during the XVI centuries. He cut the throats of them, and beat 'em up like a superhero. His bow with acid arrows hit almost every Moscow bastard. Blood of Moscow fellas became to a bloody river.
During the WWII there were fights between Ukrainians and Russians. Firstly, it was terrible difficult to fight, because since Stalin came to power, and since he organized many concentration camps for non-loyal to his presidency, many folks from the different regions were suffered a lot. The colonial regime of Stalin was too cruel to fight with him, and many Ukrainians were almost exhausted to fight against the nasty Russians.
Since Roosevelt allowed US to help Ukraine with the equipment and gear, the situation had been changed, and at first years after Nazi occupation Ukraine could be well equipped against the Russia. Unfortunately, because Ukraine was the most suffered from the WWII (it's casualties were the highest amongst the other ones nations, and they were round 10-14 millions of people), and because of the totally cruel politics of Stalin, we couldn't hold long enough.
At least for not a long period of time Kharkiv could releases from the chains of Russia. They say that some of enthusiastic Ukrainians buried the hidden passages down the Kharkiv to destory Stalin's lair. But the work hadn't been finished because of the NKVD's lapdogs. Anyway, these passages could come in handy in case to blow the Russia up.

I have no reason to distrust academic etymologists. So despite their pontifications, I believe that the city Moscow or its river comes from a root meaning "flies." The same root gives us maggot in English. |

The same root gives us maggot in English. Sorry, I don't really know. I mean I've never been interested in Moscow except for destroying it. I think that Moscow comes from " Mos-t annoying peope ever" and a suffix "who pasturing cow-s". |

Francis Marion the Swamp Fox considered the greatest hero in the American Revolution other than George Washington by that war's contemporaries. He did guerrilla warfare through the swamps of South Carolina and killed scores of British redcoats. The movie the Patriot is loosely based off his exploits. I've been through some of his stomping grounds in that war at the Waccamaw river, saw an alligator there. |

I've been through some of his stomping grounds in that war at the Waccamaw river, saw an alligator there. Francis Marion, I have to read or watch something about him. Thanks! But a little correction. Sirko wasn't a guerilla, and he wasn't a revolutionair. The lands of Ukraine till 1654 was totally ours, except for some wars which occurred between ours and Turks or ours and Tatars. In 1654 the situation became complete terrible, and with no allies we risk to lose. Instead of find something better, a leader of Cossacks Bogdan Khmelnitsky decided to choose Moscow as the one. But instead of offering a help, Moscow just started to swallow the territories of Ukraine. So, that was a pure set up. Khmelnitsky was desperate to do something better – we was completely wasted after spending twelve years in battles. And not all the Cossacks shared the same views, so Ivan Sirko was one of such. He didn't even doubt Moscow would be cheating, so that's why he fought with it. So he did it legally and with no hiding, because the Cossacks local leaders had complete freedom to agree or to disagree with a leader (Khmelnitsky). There was no straight order disciple, and the Cossacks usually cooperated with no enforcement. Such a totalitarian dictatorship became to appear only after Russian Queen Kate the Second decided to ruin it. And because those times Cossacks were serving at different regions (they had been sent to different regions) she (Kate II) foully destroyed it. |
