Secession Hill, now in the hands of a Columbia-based ensemble named the Southern Culture Centre, aspires towards a tranquil transformation into a park. This modest peak, in the sleepy town of Abbeville, South Carolina, has earned its moniker, 'the cradle of the Confederacy'. On the 22nd of November, 1860, townsfolk gathered here, defining this space as the site of a meeting that selected delegates for the secession convention in Columbia on the 17th of December, 1860. A nameless Confederate soldier from Alabama presently slumbers in the ground of Secession Hill.
