Clemson about impending legislation addressing the constitutionality of slavery in the western reaches of the Union.

I stayed in Charleston, South Carolina. I didn’t know much about the place, except that I referred to it as an army town because that’s where my sister and her husband, who was in the military, stayed.

The weather was mystical in Charleston. It was hot- that was a given being in the South, but the…
