Historic cemeteries mark pivotal South Carolina shift in Edgefield

In Edgefield County two cemeteries, Willowbrook and Ebenezer in Trenton, honor Civil War veteran Matthew Calbraith Butler and reform advocate Benjamin Tillman. Butler’s memorial on Church Street foregrounds his planter class status, Civil War service, and postwar influence in restoring state governance alongside Wade Hampton after Reconstruction.

Tillman and Butler: Two Visions Shaping South Carolina History

The piece traces the shift from postwar Bourbon rule to Pitchfork Ben Tillman’s rise in 1890, detailing Tillman’s political tactics, the 1894 Senate race against Matthew Butler, and how Tillman’s era forged the New South with boosters and racial disenfranchisement, ending with their Edgefield graves symbolizing opposing legacies.
