During the American Civil War , the Union Navy occupied the islands early in the war. The whites had fled to the mainland while the blacks stayed, largely running their own lives. This changed after President Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation . When the proclamation went into effect, naval officers read it to them and told them they were free. They were also struck by the Sea Islands Hurricane in the 1890s . SEA ISLANDS ARTICLES
