Charles Cotesworth Pinckney (view source)
Revision as of 14:21, March 3, 2016
, 14:21, March 3, 2016SC Delegation
Following the [[Revolutionary War]], Pinckney was gravely concerned by the disunity and complacency he saw among the states. He became an outspoken advocate of the need for a strong political, economic, and military union between the several states; as a result, South Carolina chose him to represent the state at the Constitutional Convention that met in Philadelphia in 1787. Pinckney argued both for a strong federal government and equally strong safeguards against tyranny.
