The Spartan Regiment, a militia group of South Carolina in the American Revolution, was formed in 1775 by John Thomas at the request of the Council of Safety.[1] The regiment was formed on August 2, 1775 at Wofford's Iron Mill. Thomas held the first muster at his house.[2] The Spartan Regiment met every two weeks to train for battle.[3] Thomas found himself fighting against his former militia leader, Col. Thomas Fletchall, who was a loyalist or Tory.[4] The patriots were also called Whigs.[5]
