The City of Windham

Windham, South Carolina was established and settled on by John Windham in 1855, right before the American Civil War. It was the birthplace of the Windham Fortune and the location of the Windham Estate. By the 2000s, Windham stands to be one of the most racist towns in the entire state, with record high lynchings and race-related hate crimes to date.

History
In 1855, Windham was settled on by southern farmers who were disgruntled about the abolition that would inevitably take place. They pledged to create a town that most closely resembled their vision for American life with the institution of slavery strongly emphasized.
