Southern Historical Society Papers, Volume 12. (ed. Reverend J. William Jones), The last chapter in the history of Reconstruction in South Carolina. (search)
The last chapter in the history of Reconstruction in South Carolina. By F. A. Porcher, President South Carolina Historical Society. Administration of D. H. Chamberlain. Paper no. I. [We deem ourselves fortunate in being able to present the following graphic picture of Reconstruction, so called, in South Carolina, from the pen of the accomplished President of the South Carolina Historical Society, who writes of what he himself saw, and knew, and felt. We only regret that we are compelled to divide this interesting and valuable paper into several numbers:] The history of South Carolina during the period of Reconstruction, from the passage of that act of revengeful hatred, until the liberation of the State by the election of Governor Hampton, is a story so full of horrors that it is not easy for the mind to imagine its reality; and even though one might faithfully report the enormities which were perpetrated under the name of law, (and the bare mention of them would fill a

In the triennial catalogue of Yale College, among the graduates in 1862, are the names of D. H. Chamberlain and W. H. Kempton, the notorious financial agent of the State. After the war was over Chamberlain was on John's Island, where he undertook to plant cotton. When the Reconstruction Convention was called by Satrap Canby, Chamberlain sat in that body, and when the State was reconstructed in pursuance ofD. H. Chamberlain and W. H.

When the Reconstruction Convention was called by Satrap Canby, Chamberlain sat in that body, and when the State was reconstructed in pursuance of the new constitution he was elected to the post of Attorney-General, a post which he held until 1872. During the next two years he seems to have lived in private life in Columbia, attending to the bar, his profession. If it were possible I would gladly insert a paper published in the Atlantic Monthly in February, 1877, for a m

The last chapter in the history of Reconstruction in South Carolina—Administration of D. H. Chamberlain. By F. A. Porcher, President South Carolina Historical Society. Paper no. 3. Ricefield riots. In May of this year occurred one of those riots which distinguished the close of Chamberlain's administration, and seemed to demonstrate how utterly unfit he was for his elevated position. A strike for higher wages took place among the negroes of the Cornlaher ricefields. Whether the negroes had just grounds of complaint against their employers, is a question of no moment whatever. A morbid sentiment endeavored to excuse them on the ground of unfair conduct on the part of the planters. It is a sufficient answer to this that the negroes, who by contract lived and worked habitually on the plantations, did not begin the strike. It began with those who, living elsewhere, were occasionally hired to assist the regular forces. These persons not only refused to work for such wages as

Chamberlain began the discussion; he was tame and dull,rebellious conduct of the Southern people. Chamberlain himself, as we shall shortly see, entered w charge of the approaching elections. Both Chamberlain and Patterson were in the Attorney-General'in Congress to avoid expulsion. He opposed Chamberlain because he was too thick with the Democratsin November.
