Andrew Pickens (1739–1817), the hard-fighting South Carolina militia commander of the American Revolution, was the hero of many victories against British and Loyalist forces. In this book, Rod Andrew Jr. offers an authoritative and comprehensive biography of Pickens the man, the general, the planter, and the diplomat. Andrew vividly depicts Pickens as he founds churches, acquires slaves, joins the Patriot cause, and struggles over Indian territorial boundaries on the southern frontier. Combining insights from military and social history, Andrew argues that while Pickens's actions consistently reaffirmed the authority of white men, he was also determined to help found the new republic based on broader principles of morality and justice. After the war, Pickens sought a peaceful and just relationship between his country and the southern Native American tribes and wrestled internally with the issue of slavery. Andrew suggests that Pickens's rise to prominence, his stern character, and his sense of duty highlight the egalitarian ideals of his generation as well as its moral shortcomings--all of which still influence Americans' understanding of themselves.
Excerpt from Speech of Hon. A. P. Butler, of South Carolina, on the Difficulty of Messrs. Brooks and Sumner, and the Causes Thereof: Delivered in the Senate of the United States, June 12-13, 1856 I have made these remarks upon the character of the speech. He may regard them as criticism'. Whether my criticism be one that will be adopt ed by the public, or such as will address itself to the good taste and good sense of this audience, I know not. I have given the convictions of my mind. After these remarks upon the character of the speech, I come to make my points; and Iwill maintain them, not by general charges without specifications; not by that proclivity to error and falsehood which the Senator so decently imputed to me; not by general declamation from which he can take refuge in his own authority; but I will prove them by documents beyond all question.
