WITH MANY ILLUSTRATIONS AND MAPS SILVER, BURDETT AND COMPANY NEW YORK ATLANTA BOSTON DALLAS CHICAGO r\ Checked it inn * From the portrait by Healy JOHN C. CALHOUN PUBLIC LIBRARY 373782 ASTOR, LENOX AND TILDE.N FOUNDATIONS. R 1906 L Copyright, 1900, by SILVER, BURDETT AND COMPANY This Book is Dedicated to Mi] MiU Fanny Beverley Wellford White PREFACE. This book attempts to give a short, simple history of South Carolina from the first settlement to the present day. Biographical sketches of rulers and leaders are arranged in close connection in order to furnish a con- tinuous historical narrative. The story of the lives of many great and good men of the state is of necessity left out; the boys and girls of South Carolina must read about them in larger books than this. Many worthy and noble women have also helped to build up and strengthen the state of South Carolina. In Colonial and Revolutionary days, and most of all during the period of the Southern Confederacy, they toiled and suffered in behalf of their people. It is not possible, however, in these brief pages to give the story of their deeds of devotion and self-sacrifice. The statements made in this book are based through- out on public records and on the original writings of those who had a share in the events and deeds herein described.

  • A Study of Elite Political Power in South Carolina, 1763-1776
    “ALL MATTERS AND THINGS SHALL CENTER THERE”: A STUDY OF ELITE POLITICAL POWER IN SOUTH CAROLINA, 1763-1776 A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History By Aaron J. Palmer, M.A. Washington, DC October 19, 2009 Copyright 2009 by Aaron J. Palmer All Rights Reserved ii “ALL MATTERS AND THINGS SHALL CENTER THERE:” A STUDY OF ELITE POLITICAL POWER IN SOUTH CAROLINA, 1763-1776 Aaron J. Palmer, M.A. Thesis Advisor: Alison Games, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This dissertation addresses a fundamental question about the nature of political power in South Carolina on the eve of the American Revolution: how did the lowcountry elite wield political power in the colony and to what end? It argues that the ability to control the law, shape legal and governing structures, and determine how the law was enforced were the primary tools that allowed the lowcountry elite to establish the most centralized system of colonial government in North America. The Commons House of Assembly, which represented only lowcountry parishes until the revolution, seized control of the law, courts, law enforcement, infrastructure, and even the Church of England’s vestries through legislation. These government entities existed to protect property, manage society and maintain order. Yet, the lowcountry elite faced many challenges in the late eighteenth century. Slaves and plantations had to be carefully regulated to protect the economy. Growing population and rising poverty in the colonial metropolis led to higher taxes, disorder and threats to personal property.

  • City Council, 1783-19511 the 1783 Charter of the City of Charleston
    City Council, 1783-19511 The 1783 charter of the City of Charleston divided the city into thirteen wards, each represented by a warden elected annually during the first week in September. Voters chose an intendant from among the elected wardens to act as the chief administrative official. After 1808, the intendant was elected separately from the wardens. In 1836 the title of mayor replaced that of intendant and alderman that of warden. This arrangement continued until 1975 when the title of council member replaced that of alderman.
