The idea of citizen-soldiers, trained to take up arms for their country in time of conflict but prepared to serve with integrity and discipline in all walks of life, has been central to its mission from its early years. In December of 1822, following the discovery of a slave revolt planned by Denmark Vesey, the South Carolina state legislature passed An Act to Establish a Competent Force as a Municipal Guard for the Protection of the City of Charleston and Vicinity.

9 The original CITADEL , intended to serve as an arsenal and guardhouse, was constructed near the site of Charleston s Revolutionary War fortifications. Located just north of Calhoun Street, it stood in a neighborhood of free blacks, working-class whites, and slaves, where it provided a visible reminder of city authority. It was initially intended to house a municipal guard, but was instead guarded first by United States troops and then, during and after the Nullification Crisis in the early 1830s, by local 1833, the legislature voted to consolidate arms and munitions at two locations, the CITADEL in Charleston and the Arsenal in Columbia.

10 In 1842, they voted to replace the local guard with students. Half of the students would pay tuition; the other half would be beneficiary cadets, young men selected from among the poorer residents of each county, whose tuition would be paid by the state. Importantly, all cadets took the same classes and performed the same duties, while uniforms erased social distinctions and rank was based on merit alone. The inclusion of cadets from all counties helped unify the state politically, while the spaces available to beneficiary cadets made The CITADEL one of the only places in the state where the sons of poorer citizens could gain a college education.
