About this product

Product Information

Excerpt from History of the South Carolina Cession: And the Northern Boundary of Tennessee There are some events of history which possess but little historic importance, but for this very reason are invested with peculiar historic interest. Such incidents, either from the brief period of their existence, or from their failure to produce any marked results upon the general interests of communities, are soon lost to view amid the great and pregnant events which stand out as the landmarks of a nations history. When in after years these lesser facts are recalled to our tice by the researches of the historian or the antiquarian, they strike us with surprise, and possess all the charms of velty. To this class belongs the history of the narrow strip of land touching the southern boundary of North Carolina and Tennessee, and extending from South Carolina to the Mississippi River. This strip is about 12 miles wide and more than 400 miles long, and was ceded by South Carolina to the United States on the 9th day of August, 1787. The inquirer, whose attention has never before been especially drawn to the subject, is surprised to find that immediately touching the southern border of our State South Carolina should ever have owned a territory of such eccentric dimensions and so peculiarly located. The circumstances connected with its cession to the United States recall a train of interesting associations dating from the settlement of the Southern States to the years 1802 and 1804, when this strip was finally divided between Georgia and Mississippi territory, each receiving the portion immediately rth of its own limits. To understand clearly the causes which led to the possession by South Carolina and the cession to the United States of this singular territory, it is necessary to glance briefly at that period of our history when the thirteen States, after the surrender of Yorktown and the treaty o Paris, having secured their independence, were engaged in constructing a general government. One of the questions of the day most difficult of solution was the government of their western territory.
