Excerpt: ... his trial as a spy, and finally having received a fair hearing, he was set free, with the one only condition that he would not go beyond the lines of the Confederacy. Meanwhile a suit was entered upon in Charleston to sequestrate Mr. Hand's interest in the firm of George W. Williams & Co. The best counsel was employed by Mr. Williams for the defence, and after a sharp contest. which lasted several days, the case was decided in Mr. Hand's favor, thus saving his property from confiscation. As South Carolina at that time did not afford a congenial atmosphere for a man of Union sentiments, it was thought best for Mr. Hand to go to the mountains of Western North Carolina to await the movement of events. Mr. Williams divided with him what gold he had, and Mr. Hand gave over to Mr. Williams all his personal property, as well as his real estate, to be held, managed and considered as if it were his own. The seirior partner then went to Asheville, and lived there in seclusion till the end of the war. With this retirement of Mr. Hand to the mountains, the whole responsibility for the business passed to Mr. Williams, and this for that long war period of trying exigencies. During the early stages of the war, Northern and Western houses sent to the firm large quantities of goods, with full knowledge that the laws of the Confederacy were against collecting such debts. They relied entirely upon the honor of the firm. Two cargoes of coffee were imported from South America by the firm, one of which succeeded in runniug the blockade, though chased by Federal gunboats to the gates of the city. Mr. Williams drew one check on the Bunk of Liverpool for fifty thousand dollars in gold, to buy clothing for the soldiers of the South, and was paid in...
James Hamilton of South Carolina

Pages : 314
Book Description
An esteemed planter, politician, and military leader influential in the affairs of both South Carolina and Texas, James Hamilton (1786--1857) so declined in reputation during the last twenty years of his life that his home state refused to acknowledge him when he died. Robert Tinkler's superb, first-published biography of Hamilton conveys the enormous drama, dignity, and pathos that marked Hamilton's pursuit of the greatness achieved by his prominent Revolutionary-era forebears and his subsequent profound reversal brought on by debt. While a member of Congress during the 1820s, Hamilton came to champion states' interests over a strong central national government. As governor of South Carolina, 1830--1832, he reached the pinnacle of his political and social glory when he presided over the Nullification Crisis of 1832. Hamilton's undoing began with a series of ill-advised cotton speculations that left him deeply and very publicly in arrears by 1839. He desperately sought relief -- even supporting the Compromise of 1850 in hopes of monetary benefit, while alienating his old allies in the process. To his fellow southerners, Hamilton became a scourge and embarrassment as one who compromised his political beliefs because of fiscal distress. Perhaps even more than his political apostasy, Hamilton's unforgivable offense may have been to remind planters of their own struggles with chronic debt. Tinkler's extraordinary research into both Hamilton's life and the dynamics of reputation and debt in the antebellum South suggests that many contemporaries simply wished to forget Hamilton's plight so as to avoid facing their own financial reality. Possessing the weight of tragedy, James Hamilton of South Carolina documents a powerful man's achievements and the events and personal flaws that led to his fall.
Reconstructing the National Bank Controversy
Author: Eric LomazoffPublisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 022657959X
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
The Bank of the United States sparked several rounds of intense debate over the meaning of the Constitution’s Necessary and Proper Clause, which authorizes the federal government to make laws that are “necessary” for exercising its other powers. Our standard account of the national bank controversy, however, is incomplete. The controversy was much more dynamic than a two-sided debate over a single constitutional provision and was shaped as much by politics as by law. With Reconstructing the National Bank Controversy, Eric Lomazoff offers a far more robust account of the constitutional politics of national banking between 1791 and 1832. During that time, three forces—changes within the Bank itself, growing tension over federal power within the Republican coalition, and the endurance of monetary turmoil beyond the War of 1812 —drove the development of our first major debate over the scope of federal power at least as much as the formal dimensions of the Constitution or the absence of a shared legal definition for the word “necessary.” These three forces—sometimes alone, sometimes in combination—repeatedly reshaped the terms on which the Bank’s constitutionality was contested. Lomazoff documents how these three dimensions of the polity changed over time and traces the manner in which they periodically led federal officials to adjust their claims about the Bank’s constitutionality. This includes the emergence of the Coinage Clause—which gives Congress power to “coin money, regulate the value thereof”—as a novel justification for the institution. He concludes the book by explaining why a more robust account of the national bank controversy can help us understand the constitutional basis for modern American monetary politics.
