We can learn by analogy, not by example, for our circumstances will always be different than theirs were. The main thing history can teach us is that human actions have consequences and that certain choices, once made, cannot be undone. They foreclose the possibility of making other choices and thus they determine future events. -- Gerda Lerner ABSTRACT This study reports on data recovery dates of the settlement extend from about 1740 excavations at archaeological site 38DR141, to 1820 – the same as the main house. The area is Tranquil Hill Plantation in Dorchester County, dominated by slave-made Colono wares, trash South Carolina. The work was conducted by pits, and at least one large clay extraction pit Chicora Foundation prior to the development of (from which clay was mined either for pottery the tract under an OCRM Memorandum of or for wattling the slave structures). Agreement. About 300 feet southeast of the main Although the parcel can be traced back house we identified several structures thought to at least 1683/4, the plantation and its to be associated with house slaves. One imposing mansion was active by at least 1732/3 structure most clearly identified measures 17 by and was apparently developed under Col. 16 feet. It was a frame structure set on piers with Charlesworth Glover, an Indian Trader. The a brick chimney. The mean ceramic date for this name Tranquil Hill was adopted by Richard and settlement is 1793, although occupation Ann Waring, who acquired the property in 1773. extended from about 1760 to 1830. Nearby was Richard Waring died in 1781, but the property the well for the plantation. continued to be operated as a rice plantation by Ann Waring until her death in the late 1820s. Comparing the collections from the two slave settlements, we see clear differences in the Investigations included excavation and artifact collections, the architectural remains, mechanical stripping at the main house, the and even the food remains. The Tranquil Hill slave settlement to the west, a domestic slave study provides good data suggesting class settlement to the east, and in the large gardens distinctions among the plantation’s enslaved to the south. African Americans. The main house excavations revealed a We also note a variety of artifacts that massive brick and frame structure measuring may suggest evidence of religious or spiritual 40.5 feet in width and 36 feet in depth with a activities on the part of the African American brick floored basement. The floor plan is community. Some artifacts are typically thought to be a through-hall with two rooms overlooked pieces of brass or window glass. But each side off a central hall. The structure was at the investigations also identified at least one least two floors and possibly three. We believe sherd with a possible Bakongo cosmogram. that it was approached from the north. The mean ceramic date for this main house was 1772, Behind (or south) of the main house we although active use extends from about 1740 identified the gardens briefly described by through 1820. Elizabeth Poyas. Regrettably little plantation garden archaeology has been conducted in The slave settlement, typical of the South Carolina, so the work at Tranquil Hill is of eighteenth century, consists of a number of wall special importance. It demonstrates the extent of trench structures loosely grouped about 500 feet data that can be cost-effectively identified. Our southwest of the main house. The mean ceramic work defined about half of one parterre of the date for the settlement is 1773, although the core garden, measuring 220 by 120 feet, i encompassing about 0.6 acre (each parterre would have measured about 220 feet square). Identified in the area were planting holes, post holes, and two brick structures, perhaps follies. Artifacts from the garden area appear later than other plantation areas, suggesting that the gardens may have been developed about 1800. The Tranquil Hill study incorporates a variety of data sets. Not only are the recovered artifacts examined, but this study also includes information on the pollen and phytoliths found on the site, a study of the chemistry of the garden soils, analysis of the faunal remains present from the different site areas, a detailed ethnobotanical study, and analysis of the mortar from the main house. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS List of Figures v List of Tables vii Introduction 1 Background 1 Research Questions 5 Proposed Data Recovery 7 The Natural Setting 9 Curation 14 A Context for the Study of Low Country Gardens 17 History of English Gardens 17 Gardens in the South Carolina Low Country 24 The Role of Archaeology 34 Historical Overview 37 Early History 37 Tranquil Hill Under the Warings 38 The Twentieth Century 41 Excavations 45 Methods 45 Results of Close Interval Testing 48 Results of Excavations and Mechanical Stripping 50 Analysis 81 Methods 81 Main House 83 House Servants’ Area 92 Slave Settlement 97 Garden Area 103 Comparisons of the Assemblages 105 Garden Soils 117 Background 117 The Garden Soils 119 Mortar Analysis 121 Introduction 121 Analysis and Results 121 Conclusions 122 iii Faunal Analysis .

  • South Carolina's Partisan
    SOWING THE SEEDS OF DISUNION: SOUTH CAROLINA’S PARTISAN NEWSPAPERS AND THE NULLIFICATION CRISIS, 1828-1833 by ERIKA JEAN PRIBANIC-SMITH A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Communication and Information Sciences in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2010 Copyright Erika Jean Pribanic-Smith, 2010 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Ultimately the first state to secede on the eve of the Civil War, South Carolina erupted in controversy following the 1828 passage of an act increasing duties on foreign imports for the protection of domestic industry. Most could agree that the tariff was unconstitutional, unequal in that it benefited the industrial North more than the agrarian South, and oppressive to plantation states that had to rely on expensive northern goods or foreign imports made more costly by the duties. Factions formed, however, based on recommended means of redress. Partisan newspapers of that era became vocal supporters of one faction or the other. What became the Free Trade Party by the end of the Nullification Crisis began as a loosely-organized group that called for unqualified resistance to what they perceived as a gross usurpation of power by the federal government. The Union Party grew out of a segment of the population that was loyal to the government and alarmed by their opposition’s disunion rhetoric. Strong at the start due to tariff panic and bolstered by John C. Calhoun’s “South Carolina Exposition and Protest,” the Free Trade Party lost ground when the Unionists successfully turned their overzealous disunion language against them in the 1830 city and state elections.

  • Two Cannon Wreck” Project, 1986
    The “Two Cannon Wreck” Project, 1986 The “Two Cannon Wreck” Project Archaeology Underwater at Lewisfield Plantation, Berkeley County, SC By Carl Steen 1987 (Revised March 2018) 1987 (revised March 2018) 1 The “Two Cannon Wreck” Project, 1986 ABSTRACT In the fall of 1986 South Carolina Institute of Archaeology and Anthropology personnel conducted test excavations at the Two Cannon Wreck site (38BK856). This site is located offshore from Lewisfield Plantation, on the West Branch of the Cooper River near Moncks Corner in Berkeley County, South Carolina. A reminiscence of an action that occurred at Lewisfield Plantation in the American Revolution on July 16, 1781, was published in the nineteenth century. Based on this account, three divers found a sunken vessel and recovered two cannons of Revolutionary War vintage. Pursuant to the mandates of The South Carolina Underwater Antiquities Act of 1982, a long-term archaeological recovery plan was undertaken, the first phase of which involved limited testing and extensive archival research. A total of nine five-foot-square excavation units were opened along one side of the keel that revealed about twenty feet of the vessel. This testing revealed a burned vessel of indeterminate length and approximately fourteen feet abeam. Artifacts recovered from the test units date from the entire period of the occupation of Lewisfield Plantation. However, artifacts directly associated with the vessel, including melted glass and military items, date to the period of the American Revolution, supporting the contention that this vessel was burned and sunk during the Revolution. Extensive research into primary and secondary documents on the American Revolution in South Carolina has revealed nothing to corroborate the published reminiscence, or to clearly document (or deny) this, or any, action at Lewisfield.
