This summer I traveled to Charleston, South Carolina and conducted research for my Senior Honors History Thesis at the South Carolina Historical Society Archives. I accessed several collections of the papers and records of prominent South Carolinian plantation families to further my study of the Charleston slave market as well as South Carolinian planation culture.
