...originally The Orange Grove Plantation, 1769, owned by John Gibbs. By 1835, part of this 60 acres was converted to Washington Race Course (horses). At the closing of the Civil War, it was a prisoner-of-war camp for Union soldiers. White Southerners abandoned the city after the victory of the North, and the freed slaves (approx 10,000) marched through Charleston to the prison camp, un-buried the mass graves, and respectably re-buried the Union soldiers. Read about what took place...it became 'Decoration Day'; now called 'Memorial Day'. Not in the history books...go figure!
