Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A biography of one of South Carolina's leading antebellum lawyers and major political thinkers In the three decades before the Civil War, James Louis Petigru became the dean of the South Carolina bar and Charleston's leading exponent of the constitutional conservatism that placed federal union above state rights, the economic views that underlay Whig politics, and the liberal vision of individual rights enshrined in the Bill of Rights. In the only modern biography of Petigru, William H. and Jane H. Pease trace the rise to social and professional preeminence that not only placed him among South Carolina's elite but also gave him national visibility. In doing so, they explore the workings of the extended family he headed, the politics of the state he loved, and the intricacies of the legal system he mastered. Central to Petigru's life was the ambiguity into which his competing loyalties plunged him. Loyal to his native state, he was a vocal opponent of its political values. Despite his dissent on the critical issues of nullification and secession, Petigru was elected attorney general, served as a state representative, and codified the state's laws. Born in South Carolina's upcountry to a family of Scots-Irish and Huguenot ancestry, Petrigru achieved such high distinction as an attorney and politician that both Confederates and Yankees eulogized him when he died in Charleston in 1863. Throughout his career, his espousal of private property, individual liberty, the rule of law, and the United States Constitution remained unflinching and gave Petigru the wisdom and assurance to be the state's most notable dissenter.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life, Letters and Speeches of James Louis Petigru: The Union Man of South Carolina "I remember your saying that South Carolina was the romantic and picturesque element in our great Confederacy," wrote Miss Sally S. Hampton from "The Woodlands" to her friend Mr. Ruggles, on January 25, 1861. The political and social structure of the State was not only picturesque but singular. Here was a commonwealth which came into existence before the Revolution, rose to its height in the first quarter of the next century, continued to live with varying degrees of vigor for two generations longer and then died a violent death. It all happened in a period of about one hundred years - from 1761, say, to 1861. The date of the beginning is indefinite, but the date of the end is fixed. No other American State presents a study so compact. Here was a State in undisputed control of a recognized upper class; here was a republic in which a small group of superior men were the governors; here was a society dominated by aristocrats. The elements which made South Carolina existed in other States, notably in Virginia, North Carolina and Georgia, but they did not pervade those States as completely as they pervaded South Carolina. James Henry Hammond, Governor and Senator, an able man of unusual mental frankness, in the confidence of his private diary wrote this on December 7, 1850: The government of South Carolina is that of an aristocracy. When a Colony, many families arose in the Low Country who became very rich and were highly educated. They were real noblemen and ruled the Colony and the State - the latter entirely until about thirty years ago, and to a very great extent to the present moment. When Hammond spoke of the education of his sons, August 25, 1858, he said: "I have worked like ten overseers and made every sacrifice to make my sons well educated and wellbred, independent South Carolina country gentlemen, the nearest to noblemen of any possible class in America."!

Book excerpt: “[A] vivid and engrossing study of slavery in and around one of its trading hubs, Charleston, SC . . . an important contribution to Southern antebellum history.” —Library Journal In America’s Longest Siege, historian Joseph Kelly captures the toxic mix of nationalism, paternalism, and wealth that made Charleston the center of the nationwide debate over slavery and the tragic act of secession that doomed both the city and the South. Thoroughly researched and compulsively readable, America’s Longest Siege offers a new take on the Civil War and the culture that made it inevitable. “Lays bare the decades-long campaign of rationalization and intimidation that revivified and reinforced the institution of slavery and dragged the United States into disunion and civil war . . . this masterful study is a timely and important reminder of the consequences that result when ideological extremists succeed in drowning out the voices of reason.” —Peter Quinn, author of Hour of the Cat
