HARD ROWS TO HOE: FREE BLACK FARMERS IN ANTEBELLUM SOUTH CAROLINA by David W. Dangerfield Bachelor of Arts Erskine College, 2005 Master of Arts College of Charleston, 2009 Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History College of Arts and Sciences University of South Carolina 2014 Accepted by: Mark M. Smith, Major Professor Lacy K. Ford, Committee Member Daniel C. Littlefield, Committee Member David T. Gleeson, Committee Member Lacy K. Ford, Vice Provost and Dean of Graduate Studies © Copyright by David W. Dangerfield, 2014 All Rights Reserved. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This dissertation and my graduate education have been both a labor and a vigil – and neither was undertaken alone. I am grateful to so many who have worked and kept watch beside me and would like to offer a few words of my sincerest appreciation to the teachers, colleagues, friends, and family who have helped me along the way. Before recognizing those who joined and sustained me in this task, I would like to first acknowledge the funding received from the University of South Carolina’s Department of Research, the History Department, and the Institute for Southern Studies. I was given grants for research and conference presentations from the John Hope Franklin Center at Duke University, the South Carolina Chapter of the Colonial Dames, and from the St. George Tucker Society. Each of these resources was vital to the archival research and ideas behind this work. I am also especially grateful for research assistance offered by several institutions: Nic Butler and the staff at the Charleston Library, Mary Jo Fairchild and the South Carolina Historical Society, Eric Emerson and the staff, particularly Steve Tuttle and Wade Dorsey, at the South Carolina Department of Archives and History, and Allen Stokes, Henry Fulmer, and the staff at the South Caroliniana Library – particularly Lorrey Stewart, Harold Newfield, and Graham Duncan. As an institution, the University of South Carolina has given me so much. I cannot fully say how much Mark M. Smith has meant as a teacher and advisor. His scholarly wisdom offered much to improve my research and writing and, more than this, he was constant source of encouragement and stalwart advocacy. In short, I could not iii have asked for a better mentor. I am also grateful to Lacy K. Ford for insights into rural, antebellum South Carolina and to Dan Littlefield for his sage advice for taking this work forward. Matt Childs, Dean Kinzley, Don Doyle, Marjorie Spruill, Kathryn Edwards, David Snyder, and Ann Johnson, among others, are all owed a debt thanks for their many contributions to my scholarly development. Fellow graduate students have all touched the project by way of reading my work, offering research advice, and simply for being supportive friends. Caroline Peyton and Tyler Parry have been through it with me, thick and thin, from day one. Michael Woods, an already accomplished and brilliant scholar, never hesitated to give me sound and sage advice as I entered the program at USC. Likewise, Allen Driggers, Laura Foxworth, Evan Kutzler, Timothy Minella, Jay Richardson, Beth Sherhouse, and several others have meant so much to me. They are all doing exciting work of their own. I am privileged to have worked beside them and call them my friends. At the College of Charleston, where this project began, I was fortunate in my first semester of coursework to land in David Gleeson’s Old South class and later his “Plain Folk” research seminar. His courses were a trial by fire in the best possible form. They helped me mold ideas and left me well-prepared for doctoral training. His influence and mentorship continue to be invaluable to my work and career. Bernard Powers was particularly helpful with this project in its infancy, drawing on his expertise on Charleston’s urban free black population to help me sharpen my focus. Other faculty during this time also left an important mark on my development -- Joelle Neulander, Irina Gigova, and Kyle Sinisi. My graduate student colleagues at the College of Charleston were yet another rich source of inspiration. Otis W. Pickett was finishing his thesis when iv I entered the program. Though Otis is Clemson man, he is still salt of the earth – a trusted friend and Christian brother. At “the College,” I also met Kate Jenkins, Ivy Farr McIntyre, and Miles Smith – wonderful colleagues and collaborators that I am lucky to know. At Erskine College, James W. Gettys inspired me to pursue a career as a professional historian and teacher. Encapsulating my respect and admiration, personally and professionally, would fill a volume. It must suffice to say that Jim Gettys represents one of the finest examples of a gentleman scholar that I have ever known. Other members of the Erskine community that I wish to thank for their guidance and friendship: Sandra Chaney, David Grier, Bill Crenshaw, Lowry Ware, Randy Moore, Mark Peeler, Buddy Ferguson, Steve Southwell, and David Danehower. Scholars from other institutions contributed advice and help with this project for which I am humbled. James L. Roark offered much appreciated guidance after reading the seminar paper that became this dissertation. Emily West’s insights into rural free black life and their status in South Carolina were particularly helpful. And, I am also grateful to the St. George Tucker Society and the Cleanth Brooks Dissertation Forum for their comments and probing analytical questions. Outside of the academy, numerous people provided support, wisdom, guidance, meals, shelter, and charity that have helped this project along. Rev. Timothy Shaw and my church family at Asbury-St. James United Methodist prayed diligently for me as I applied to and entered graduate school and they were a constant source of strength throughout. I am blessed to know them and wish especially to thank Earline Snow and her fellow “lemonade conspirators” for their support. Frank and Raejean Beattie have v been dear friends, adopted family really, and sponsors who helped inspire me. I am eternally grateful to Dr. James Aymond for giving me a new lease on life when he repaired my lumbar spine. I am also appreciative of friends, Joe and Renee Culler, Jim Quinn, Stewart and Emma Driggers, Josh and Cowles Whitley, Andrew and Beth Dennis, Shawan Gillians, Lindsay Grosso, Melody Lane, Pete and Sharon Bailey and several others who have all contributed to this project’s completion in various ways. My Saturday’s in the fall would not have been the same without Mike and Kelly Bryant whose friendship has meant the world to me. And, while thinking of Mike, particularly, I am compelled to thank the Gamecocks for the fun and diversion they provided throughout my career at USC. Two National Championships for baseball, a conference championship from women’s basketball, three record-setting eleven win seasons for football, and beating “that team up the road” for five consecutive years has been fun to watch and be some part of as a student! The people I am perhaps most indebted to for this dissertation are my family. My cousins and many aunts and uncles, Donna and Albert Heath, James, Shiela, Franklin, and Susan Yates, and Kathy and Virginia Dangerfield were all prayerful encouragers. As brothers often are, mine are due special thanks. Mark and Philip, never neglected a chance to call and check on me; often to see if I had found the time to watch the game. Most times I had, thanks to them. My grandparents, J.W. and Katie Yates, encouraged me to pursue this degree. Though they never fully understood what kind of work I was doing, they supported me firmly. Both were children of the Great Depression – my grandfather an Arkansas sharecropper’s son – and they knew the importance of an education better than most. More than that, they imparted a love for the past, for vi understanding where I came from, and from that understanding, knowing a bit about who I am. South Carolina writer Ben Robertson said that our grandparents are a “voice to us, a cry.” This was assuredly true for my own grandparents. I lost my grandfather the semester before completing this project, but the stories that he passed down and that voice remain with me. A “historian” in his own right and an unequaled raconteur, his enthusiasm for stories (most that began with “when I was a boy”) informs my work and teaching. A part of this dissertation is dedicated to him and to my grandmother. In the midst of writing this dissertation, Lauren Bailey agreed to be my wife, surprisingly enough even after helping me double-check thousands upon thousands of statistical data points. She has been a steadfast source of strength and encouragement through seasons of adversity and success. I am truly thankful for her. Finally, I was fortunate to have a mother and father who taught me not only the value of an education, but also made sure that I had one. And they were even more concerned that my life and education be rooted in faith, character, and a loving family.

  • THE BLACK SLAVE OWNERS by Joseph E. Holloway the Majority of Black Slave
    THE BLACK SLAVE OWNERS By Joseph E. Holloway The majority of black slave owners were members of the mulatto class, and in some cases were the sons and daughters of white slave masters. Many of the mulatto slave owners separated themselves from the masses of black people and attempted to establish a caste system based on color, wealth, and free status. According to Martin Delany, the colored community of Charleston City clung to the assumptions of the superiority of white blood and brown skin complexion. These mulattoes of the old free Black elite did not attend church with the dark-skinned blacks of Charleston City. They not only formed congregations which excluded freedmen of dark complexion, but they only married among other mulattoes to “keep the color in the family.” Large numbers of free Blacks owned black slaves in numbers disproportionate to their representation in society. According to the federal census of 1830, free blacks owned more than 10,000 slaves in Louisiana, Maryland, South Carolina, and Virginia. The majority of black slave-owners lived in Louisiana and planted sugar cane. Slave holding among the mulatto class in South Carolina was widespread according to the first census of 1790, which revealed that 36 out of 102, or 35.2 percent of the free Black heads of family held slaves in Charleston City. By 1800 one out of every three free black recorded owning slave property. Between 1820 and 1840 the percentage of slaveholding heads of family ranged from 72.1 to 77.7 percent, however, by 1850 the percentage felt to 42.3 percent.

  • Who Were South Carolina's Turkish People
    (This paper was presented by the authors at the South Carolina Historical Association in 2018. It was based in part on material in their forthcoming book, South Carolina’s Turkish People: A History and Ethnology, published by the University of South Carolina Press in 2018.) WHO WERE SOUTH CAROLINA’S TURKISH PEOPLE? GENETICS AND GENEALOGY HELP SOLVE A TWO-HUNDRED-YEAR-OLD MYSTERY By Glen Browder and Terri Ann Ognibene South Carolina has always been an intriguing place for research on regional and national history. Most commonly, the Palmetto State has been scrutinized and depicted through a binary lens of racial supposition; and there is an all too often conception of this state as an eternal realm of black-and-white society. However, the reality is that South Carolina has experienced surprising richness in its ethnic origins and evolving culture over many generations. As demonstrated by Walter Edgar, the state’s premier chronicler, before the Europeans there were as many as forty different Indian nations; and by the end of the eighteenth century there were at least twenty-five West African ethnicities and nine European ethnic groups. “Thus South Carolina’s population is a rich mosaic, a variety of people from three continents. Over the centuries the interaction of these peoples produced a culture that made South Carolina a special place.”1 Of particular pertinence to our project, historian James W. Hagy pinpointed South 1 Carolina's rich diversity prior to the Civil War. Hagy wrote that one could find non-Europeans and non-Christians with exotic ethnic backgrounds, including Muslim slaves, abducted Moors, African Jews, and even "misnamed Turks" who contributed to the state's early experience.

  • 03050201-010 (Lake Moultrie)
    03050201-010 (Lake Moultrie) General Description Watershed 03050201-010 is located in Berkeley County and consists primarily of Lake Moultrie and its tributaries. The watershed occupies 87,730 acres of the Lower Coastal Plain region of South Carolina. The predominant soil types consist of an association of the Yauhannah-Yemassee-Rains- Lynchburg series. The erodibility of the soil (K) averages 0.17 and the slope of the terrain averages 1%, with a range of 0-2%. Land use/land cover in the watershed includes: 64.4% water, 21.1% forested land, 5.4% forested wetland, 4.1% urban land, 3.1% scrub/shrub land, 1.4% agricultural land, and 0.5% barren land. Lake Moultrie was created by diverting the Santee River (Lake Marion) through a 7.5 mile Diversion Canal filling a levee-sided basin and impounding it with the Pinopolis Dam. South Carolina Public Service Authority (Santee Cooper) oversees the operation of Lake Moultrie, which is used for power generation, recreation, and water supply. The 4.5 mile Tail Race Canal connects Lake Moultrie with the Cooper River near the Town of Moncks Corner, and the Rediversion Canal connects Lake Moultrie with the lower Santee River. Duck Pond Creek enters the lake on its western shore. The Tail Race Canal accepts the drainage of California Branch and the Old Santee Canal. There are a total of 43.8 stream miles and 57,535.3 acres of lake waters in this watershed, all classified FW. Additional natural resources in the watershed include the Dennis Wildlife Center near the Town of Bonneau, Sandy Beach Water Fowl Area along the northern lakeshore, the Santee National Wildlife Refuge covering the lower half of the lake, and the Old Santee Canal State Park near Monks Corner.

  • Enslavement in the U.S. South
    ENSLAVEMENT IN THE U.S. SOUTH SECTION ONE SOURCE: http://www.blackpast.org/primary/declaration-independence-and-debate-over-slavery The Declaration of Independence and the Debate over Slavery When Thomas Jefferson included a passage attacking slavery in his draft of the Declaration of Independence it initiated the most intense debate among the delegates gathered at Philadelphia in the spring and early summer of 1776. Jefferson's passage on slavery was the most important section removed from the final document. It was replaced with a more ambiguous passage about King George's incitement of "domestic insurrections among us." Decades later Jefferson blamed the removal of the passage on delegates from South Carolina and Georgia and Northern delegates who represented merchants who were at the time actively involved in the Trans-Atlantic slave trade. Jefferson's original passage on slavery appears below. He has waged cruel war against human nature itself, violating its most sacred rights of life and liberty in the persons of a distant people who never offended him, captivating & carrying them into slavery in another hemisphere or to incur miserable death in their transportation thither. This piratical warfare, the opprobrium of infidel powers, is the warfare of the Christian King of Great Britain. Determined to keep open a market where Men should be bought & sold, he has prostituted his negative for suppressing every legislative attempt to prohibit or restrain this execrable commerce. And that this assemblage of horrors might want no fact of distinguished die, he is now exciting those very people to rise in arms among us, and to purchase that liberty of which he has deprived them, by murdering the people on whom he has obtruded them: thus paying off former crimes committed again the Liberties of one people, with crimes which he urges them to commit against the lives of another.

    EileenNorth McGrath, compilerCarolina Books End of Eden: Writings of an Environmental Activist Thomas Rain Crowe. Nicholasville, KY: Wind Publications, 2008. 171 pp. $16.00. ISBN 978-1-893239-80-7. Elise Anderson, Wake Forest University n western North Carolina, communities hundreds of years old are now under assault. Population growth exceeds the carrying capacity of the land and triggers permanent environmental degradation, while the influx of newcomers swamps local traditions, values, and Iadaptations to the surrounding ecosystems. Sound bad? It is, but End of Eden offers hope and illustrates a way to communicate effectively about the very real dangers that threaten the communities, human and natural, of the mountains of North Carolina. A poet and environmentalist, Thomas Rain Crowe is the author of twenty books, including Zoro: My Life in the Appalachian Woods and Drunk on the Wine of the Beloved: 100 Poems of Hafiz. His literary archives have been purchased by Duke University. The topics Crowe addresses in End of Eden are as varied as the mountains he calls home. Throughout the volume, artwork by Robert Johnson illustrates the beauty and biodiversity of western North Carolina. The first of the book’s three sections presents broader perspectives on the ecosystems, history, and cultures of the mountains. The second, a collection of articles and editorials, focuses on local issues and political responses. Crowe concludes with columns from the Smoky Mountain News that capture the vibrancy and promise of the Jackson County Farmer’s Market. The farmers market is one traditional organization that is getting much attention now as a sustainable solution to current economic and environmental problems.
