Description and Table of Contents
Description
The unanimity and radicalism of South Carolina politics - culminating in the events of 1860, when it became the first state to secede from the Union - have long been a subject of interest and controversy. In this text the author explores how South Carolina's latent impulse for radicalism was already in place by 1800, an overgrowth of its experience with British imperial politics in the late-colonial period. The text examines how as a producer of vital raw materials - particularly rice, indigo and hemp - South Carolina was one of Britain's most valuable American colonies.
