Eliza Lucas Pinckney (1722-1793) helped to make indigo, a major cash crop; she was the mother of two statesmen; and wrote numerous, engaging letters. Her son Thomas Pinckney (1750-1828) was a Minister to England from 1792-1796, a major general during the War of 1812, and a successful rice planter; his correspondence is the largest group in this collection. Also included are letters of other family members and friends, particularly Eliza’s son and daughter, Charles Cotesworth Pinckney (1746-1825) and Harriott Pinckney Horry Rutledge (1780-1858). Only the lose papers have been calendared and a list of them is included for convenience; the bulk of the papers, the bound volumes, do not have item-level finding aids unless they are noted as part of the volume. Much of the correspondence in this collection has been edited and published in the Journals and Letters of Eliza Lucas Pinckney by Harriott Pinckney Rutledge Holbrook (1850), Eliza Lucas Pinckney, 1739-1769 by Elise Pinckney and Marvin R. Zahniser (1972), and the South Carolina Historical Magazine. “The diplomatic papers of Thomas Pinckney are now preserved in letter-press copies in the South Carolina Historical Society’s Collection at Charleston, in five folio ms. volumes. These include copies of the originals in the State Department, with additional supplementary material of considerable importance for understanding Pinckney’s mission in Spain.” (Pinckney’s Treaty by Samuel Flagg Bemis 1926). Additional information on the Family may be found in A Founding Family, the Pinckney’s of South Carolina by Frances Leigh Williams (1978). This collection of papers of five generations of the Pinckney Family of South Carolina has been acquired by both purchase and gift. The Society is especially grateful to Col. Alston Deas, Caroline Means, Beverly Middleton, Julien Mitchell, Frank H. Pinckney, Joesphine Pinckney, the estate of M. Morris Pinckney, the estate of Benjamin Huger Rutledge, Francis B. Stewart, and Forrest H.

  • Introduction to the Ratification of the Constitution in South Carolina

    Introduction to the Ratification of the Constitution in South Carolina

    Introduction to the Ratification of the Constitution in South Carolina Tradition and continuity were hallmarks of South Carolina government and politics in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and South Carolinians modeled their governmental institutions on earlier practices. Revolutionary legislator, physician, and historian David Ramsay claimed that when the state adopted a new constitution in 1776, “the policy of the rulers in departing as little as possible from ancient forms and names, made the change of sovereignty less perceptible.”1 Despite changes wrought by the Revolution, maintenance or appeals to old forms continued throughout the debate over the Constitution. In its first regular session after ratification, the state House of Representatives ordered a new gown for its speaker, “ornamented with velvet tassels, richly fringed” that was “an exact pattern of that worn by the speaker of the British house of commons.”2 Yet despite efforts to maintain “ancient forms and names,” the legacy of the Revolution, the rapid growth of the upcountry, and the economic challenges of the postwar era slowly brought change. Under the Lords Proprietors The roots of South Carolina’s institutions were planted in the West Indian islands of Barbados and Jamaica. Established as a proprietary colony in the 1620s, Barbados offered a few elite white men the opportunity to accumulate great wealth on sugar plantations worked by black slaves who, by 1652, constituted a majority of the island’s population. In 1663, when King Charles II granted a charter for a new North American colony south of Virginia to eight Lords Proprietors, some of whom were investors in the Barbadian enterprise, they had a colonial model at hand that could readily be applied to the new mainland colony that became South Carolina.
