 Rather than allowing himself to be paroled , Hogun requested he be taken prisoner , and was interned at the British prison camp at Haddrel 's Point on Point Pleasant , located in what is now Mount Pleasant , South Carolina , across from Sullivan 's Island . Hogun 's decision was based , in part , on his desire to stifle the recruiting efforts of the British , who sought to enlist captured Continental soldiers to serve in the British West Indies . The British , however , held only the officers at Haddrel 's Point , deciding to house the enlisted men in barracks in Charleston .
