How many slaves did Andrew Johnson own?
Charles Pinckney, a prominent South Carolina statesman, signer of the United States Constitution, and governor, was a member of the wealthy planter elite who built his immense personal wealth on the institution of chattel slavery. Historical plantation records, tax rolls, and biographical archives indicate that Pinckney owned hundreds of enslaved people who labored across his extensive rice and cotton plantations in the Lowcountry region of South Carolina. His vast holdings reflected the dominant economic dependence of the South Carolina political aristocracy on enslaved labor prior to emancipation.
