  • 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.

Description: 3 linear ft. Biographical/Historical note: The Baker family became established in South Carolina in the 17th century when Richard Baker (d. 1698) emigrated from Barbados and acquired large land holdings along the Ashley River. His grandson, Richard Baker (d. 1752), married Mary Bohun (d. 1736), daughter of Nicholas Bohun (and granddaughter of Edmund Bohun, 1645-1699); their residence was at Archdale Hall Plantation in Dorchester County, S.C. Their son, Richard Bohun Baker (1736-1783), was the next owner of Archdale Hall; he married Elizabeth Elliott (d. 1771), the daughter of Barnard Elliott (d. 1758), whose other children were Amarinthea Elliott and Barnard Elliott (d. 1778). Richard Bohun Baker's children by Elizabeth Elliott were: William Bohun Baker (died young); Elizabeth Elliott Baker; Mary Bohun Baker; Charlotte Bohun Baker; and Richard Bohun Baker (1757-1837), the heir of Archdale Hall, who married Harriett Hyrne. Harriett Hyrne Baker was the daughter of Mary and Henry Hyrne of neighboring Tipseeboo Plantation. Archdale Hall was next inherited by Richard Bohun Baker (d. 1865), son of Richard Bohun Baker (1757-1837), who in turn devised it to his nephew Dr. Richard Bohun Baker (d. 1901). After his death Archdale Hall Plantation was acquired by Emma Drayton-Grimke, a great niece of Richard Bohun Baker (d. 1865).

  • The ''Havoc of War'' and Its Aftermath in Revolutionary South Carolina
    The ''Havoc of War'' and its Aftermath in Revolutionary South Carolina by Jerome NADELHAFT* The approach of war between England and America inspired many privileged South Carolinians to announce their willingness to suffer for freedom's sake. They would move, disown America, or fight "rather than submit to tyranny.'' They did not ignore the possibility of dying, but since their cause was just, death would be noble, "generous", preferable to servitude. 1 That vision was shared by Richard Hutson, who wrote of the "awfully pleasing sight" of the British army and navy "most shamefully repulsed" when they attacked Charleston in 1776. Romantically, perhaps not inaccurately, he spread the tale of one sergeant, "McDougal by name," who "rivals Epaminondas in fame; when breathing his last, 'My brave lads,' he cries, 'I am just expiring, but for heaven's sake let not sweet liberty expire with me."' 2 Few Carolinians expressed an awareness that warfare consisted of more than noble gestures and deeds ; few seemed worried that military death could be inglorious. Josiah Smith, who was unwilling to submit "to the will & controul of a haughty and abaondoned sett of rulers," might have had such gloomy prospects in mind when he wrote that "horrible consequences" attended bloodshed. 3 So might Henry Laurens, whose son returned from England to fight and die in and for South Carolina. Ready "to hazard all ... [his] estate," Laurens worried that the British, encoura­ ging Indian attacks and slave insurrections, would cause the "most horri­ ble butcheries of innocent women & children," and that "civil discord between fellow citizens & neighbour Farmers" would lead to "fraud per­ jury & assassination." 4 Probably few people had the knowledge, or even willingness, to imagine the nature of South Carolina's Revolutionary War.
