2nd UCCC President Henry Middleton
The Congressional Evolution of the United States: The Presidential Series - Henry Middleton of South Carolina was the second President of the Untied Colonies Continental Congress. His Presidential tenure, however, was quite brief, being elected on October 22, and ending with the dissolution of the First Continental Congress on October 26th , 1774.
Henry Middleton was born in South Carolina in 1717 to Arthur Middleton (1681–1737) and Susan Amory (1690-1722), on Their Oaks Plantation.” Although one of eight children, only two other siblings survived into adulthood, William born in 1710 and Thomas born in 1719.
In 1742 he was elected to the South Carolina House of Commons, serving until 1755 (including five terms as speaker). In 1755 he became the king’s Native American affairs commissioner. He was elected to the South Carolina provincial convention and the First Continental Congress, becoming its President for the last four days when the first President, Peyton Randolph, left for Virginia to return to the House of Burgesses, where he was simultaneously serving. Middleton left Congress in 1775 before independence was declared, at which time his son, Arthur, took his place and signed the Declaration of Independence. Henry Middleton returned to South Carolina and became president of its Provincial Congress. After he and Arthur helped write South Carolina’s state constitution, he became a state senator in 1779. Middleton died in Charleston on June 13, 1784.

Columbia is the capital of and largest city in the U.S. state of South Carolina, with a population of 129,272 as of the 2010 United States Census. As of July 1, 2013, the city's population was estimated to be 133,358 (U.S. Census Bureau, July 2014 release). The name Columbia was a poetic term used for the United States, originating from the name of Christopher Columbus. Columbia is home to the University of South Carolina, the state's flagship and largest university, and is also the site of Fort Jackson, the largest United States Army installation for Basic Combat Training. In 1860, the city was the location of the South Carolina Secession Convention, which marked the departure of the first state from the Union in the events leading up to the Civil War.
Downtown revitalization
The city of Columbia has recently accomplished a number of urban redevelopment projects and has several more planned.[27] The historic Congaree Vista, a 1,200-acre (5 km2) district running from the central business district toward the Congaree river, features a number of historic buildings that have been rehabilitated since its revitalization begun in the late 1980s. Of note is the adaptive reuse of the Confederate Printing Plant on Gervais and Huger, used to print Confederate bills during the American Civil War. The city cooperated with Publix grocery stores to preserve the look. This won Columbia an award from the International Downtown Association.[28] The Vista district is also where the region's convention center and anchor Hilton hotel with a Ruth's Chris Steakhouse restaurant are located. Other notable developments under construction and recently completed include high-end condos and townhomes, hotels, and mixed-use structures.
The older buildings lining the Vista's main drag, Gervais, now house art galleries, restaurants, unique shops, and professional office space. Near the end of Gervais is the South Carolina State Museum and the EdVenture Children's Museum. Private student housing and some residential projects are going up nearby; the CanalSide development[29] at the site of the old Central Correctional Institution, is the most high profile. At full build-out, the development will have 750 residential units and provides access to Columbia's waterfront. Lady Street between Huger and Assembly streets in the Vista and the Five Points neighborhood have undergone beautification projects, which mainly consisted of replacing curbs and gutters, and adding brick-paved sidewalks and angled parking.
Economy
Columbia enjoys a diversified economy, with the major employers in the area being South Carolina state government, the Palmetto Health hospital system, Blue Cross Blue Shield of South Carolina, Palmetto GBA, and the University of South Carolina. The corporate headquarters of Fortune 1000 energy company, SCANA, are located in the Columbia suburb of Cayce. Other major employers in the Columbia area include Computer Sciences Corporation, Fort Jackson, the U.S. Army's largest and most active initial entry training installation,[25] Richland School District One, Humana/TriCare, and the United Parcel Service, which operates its Southeastern Regional Hub at the Columbia Metropolitan Airport. Major manufacturers such as Square D, CMC Steel, Spirax Sarco, Michelin, International Paper, Pirelli Cables, Honeywell, Westinghouse Electric, Harsco Track Tech, Trane, Intertape Polymer Group, Union Switch & Signal, FN Herstal, Solectron, and Bose Technology have facilities in the Columbia area. There are over 70 foreign affiliated companies and fourteen Fortune 500 companies in the region. The gross domestic product (GDP) of the Columbia metropolitan statistical area as of 2010 was $31.97 billion, the highest among MSAs in the state.[26]

JUBA DANCE: The dance of African slaves in American plantations
*** FREE STEP ITALIA OFFICIAL ***
- History of Juba dance -
The Juba dance or hambone, originally known as Pattin' Juba (Giouba, Haiti: Djouba), is an American style of dance that involves stomping as well as slapping and patting the arms, legs, chest, and cheeks. Pattin' Juba would be used to keep time for other dances during a walkaround. A Juba Dance performance could include:
counter-clockwise turning, often with one leg raised
stomping and slapping
steps such as the Jubal Jew, Yaller Cat, Pigeon Wing and Blow That Candle Out.
The Juba dance was originally brought by Kongo slaves to Charleston, South Carolina.
It became an African-American plantation dance that was performed by slaves during their gatherings when no rhythm instruments were allowed due to fear of secret codes hidden in the drumming. The sounds were also used just as Yoruba and Haitian talking drums were used to communicate.
The dance was performed in Dutch Guiana, the Caribbean, and the southern United States.
Later in the mid-19th century, music and lyrics were added, and there were public performances of the dance. Its popularization may have indirectly influenced the development of modern tap dance. The most famous Juba dancer was William Henry Lane, or Master Juba, one of the first black performers in the United States. It was often danced in minstrel shows, and is mentioned in songs such as Christy's New Song and Juba, the latter by Nathaniel Dett.

June 27, 1777 ~ Henry Laurens and the Tower of London
What do Anne Boleyn, Guy Fawkes, Nazi Deputy Fuehrer Rudolph Hess, and South Carolinian Henry Laurens have in common? They were all imprisoned in the Tower of London. Today in 1777, Henry Laurens stepped down as the only Vice-president of an Independent South Carolina. He would serve as 3rd President of the Continental Congress and spend time in the Tower of London for treason to the British Crown.
---
Henry Laurens of Charleston, South Carolina was an American merchant, slave trader, and rice planter who became a political leader during the Revolutionary War and the only American to ever be sent to the Tower of London.
Henry Lauren's was born to a Huguenot family in Charleston in 1724. He would study in England before returning to South Carolina to seek his fortune
Laurens earned great wealth as a planter and was a partners in the largest slave-trading house in North America, Austin & Laurens.
Lauren's also served in the militia, as did most able-bodied men in his time. He rose to the rank of Lt. Colonel in the campaigns against the Cherokee Indians, and during the French and Indian War.
When South Carolina began to create a revolutionary government, Laurens was elected to the Provincial Congress, which first met in Charles Towne on January 9, 1775.
He was elected President of the Committee of Safety, and presiding officer of that congress from June until March 1776.
When South Carolina installed a fully independent government, he served as the first Vice-President through June 27, 1777.
Henry Laurens was named a delegate to the Continental Congress in 1777 and succeeded John Hancock as the 3rd President of the Continental Congress through 1778.
In 1779, the Continental Congress named Laurens their minister to the Netherlands. In this capacity he successfully negotiated Dutch support for the war.
But on his return voyage, the British intercepted his ship off the banks of Newfoundland. Although his dispatches were tossed in the water, they were retrieved by the British, who discovered the draft of a possible U.S.-Dutch treaty. This prompted Britain to declare war on the Dutch Republic. They arrested Laurens, charged him with treason, transported him to England, and imprisoned him in the Tower of London.
By this time, the Tower of London was famous for being a political prison. The 2nd Wife of Henry the VIII, Anne Boleyn was sent to the tower until her divorce was finalized with an AX.
During WW2, the Deputy Führer, Rudolph Hess also spent time in the tower.
But, the most famous resident of the tower was the Gunpowder Plot architect, Guy Fawkes.
In 1605 Fawkes had plotted to blow up parliament. The conspiracy was uncovered. He was taken to the Tower of London and tortured upon the special order of King James
Fawkes and his surviving co-conspirators were all found guilty of high treason and sentenced to death.
Unlike Anne Boleyn who was beheaded and Fawkes who was hanged, drawn and quartered, Laurens' stay was a little more gentile.
While his communications were limited, Laurens wasn't tortured/ Then with the help of a former business associate he was released in exchange for General Lord Cornwallis, who had been captured by General Washington at Yorktown.
Henry Laurens is the only American to have been held prisoner in the Tower.
As the war moved to South Carolina, the fledgling republic was in desperate need of troops to counter the Britsh advance. Laurens' son , Colonel John Laurens argued to his father that Many Slaves … share in the dangers and glory of the efforts made by US, and should be freed to fight alongside the militia. Colonel Laurens hoped to prove to Americans that slaves merited freedom and citizenship while helping to rebuild the army. Henry Laurens agreed with his son and his views on slavery began to shift. Unfortunately the slaves were not freed to fight and COL Laurens would die late in the war.
In 1783 Laurens was sent to Paris as one of the Peace Commissioners for the negotiations leading to the Treaty of Paris. While he was not a signatory of the primary treaty, he was instrumental helping conclude the conflict and the recognition of the United States as an independent nation.
Henry Laurens retired from public life in 1784 and would return South Carolina where died in December of 1792. Laurens last directive was to free freed his slave George.

USS Ralph Johnson To Be Commissioned March 24 in Charleston, S.C.
Pre Commissioning Unit Ralph Johnson (DDG 114), will be commissioned during a ceremony Saturday, March 24, 2018 in Charleston, South Carolina.
Ralph Johnson, commanded by Cmdr. Jason Patterson, a Chicago native, is the 64th Arleigh Burke-class destroyer, and the 30th DDG 51 class destroyer built by the Huntington Ingalls Industries (HII) shipyard. It is the first warship named for Medal of Honor recipient Marine Pfc. Ralph Henry Johnson.
Johnson, a native of Charleston, posthumously received the Medal of Honor for his heroic actions during the Vietnam War. Johnson used his body to shield two fellow Marines from a grenade, absorbing the blast and dying instantly in March 1968. In early fall of 2014, the keel of Ralph Johnson was laid down. The ship was launched on Dec. 12, 2015 and christened on April 2, 2016 during ceremonies at the Huntington Ingalls Industries (HII) shipyard in Pascagoula, Mississippi.
Arleigh Burke (DDG 51 class) class destroyers are highly-capable, multi-mission ships that conduct a variety of operations, from peacetime presence to national security. These DDGs provide a wide range of warfighting capabilities in multi-threat air, surface, and subsurface environments. The ship's Integrated Air and Missile Defense radar will provide increased computing power and radar upgrades that improve detection and reaction capabilities against modern air warfare threats, as well as ballistic missile defense. The Aegis Combat System will enable the ship to link radars with other ships and aircraft to provide a composite picture of the battle space, and effectively increase the theater space. New ships in this class, such as Ralph Johnson, have anti-ballistic missile capabilities as well. The DDG’s all-steel construction provides a survivable platform.
After commissioning in Charleston, she will make her way to homeport in Everett, Washington.

Middleton Place is a plantation in Dorchester County, directly across the Ashley River from North Charleston and about 15 miles (24 km) northwest of Charleston, in the U.S. state of South Carolina. Built in several phases during the 18th and 19th centuries, the plantation was the primary residence of several generations of the Middleton family, many of whom played prominent roles in the colonial and antebellum history of South Carolina. The plantation, now a National Historic Landmark District, is used as a museum, and is home to the oldest landscaped gardens in the United States.
John Williams, an early South Carolina planter, probably began building Middleton Place in the late 1730s. His son-in-law Henry Middleton (1717–1784), who later served as President of the First Continental Congress, completed the house's main section and its north and south flankers, and began work on the elaborate gardens. Middleton's son, Arthur Middleton (1742–1787), a signer of Declaration of Independence, was born at Middleton Place, and lived at the plantation in the last years of his life. Arthur Middleton's son and grandson, Henry Middleton (1770–1846) and Williams Middleton (1809–1883), oversaw Middleton Place's transition from a country residence to a more active rice plantation. In 1865, toward the end of the U.S. Civil War, Union soldiers burned most of the house, leaving only the south wing and gutted walls of the north wing and main house. An earthquake in 1886 toppled the walls of the main house and north wing.
The restoration of Middleton Place began in 1916 when Middleton descendant John Julius Pringle Smith (1887–1969) and his wife Heningham began several decades of meticulously rebuilding the plantation's gardens. They had New York architect Bancel LaFarge design a stableyard complex of barn, stable, work buildings, and cottages; the buildings were constructed of brick salvaged from the ruined main house. In the early 1970s, approximately 110 acres (45 ha) of the 7,000-acre (2,800 ha) plantation— including the south flanker, the gardens, and several outbuildings— were placed on the National Register of Historic Places. During the same period the Middleton descendants transferred ownership of the historic district to the non-profit Middleton Place Foundation, which presently maintains the site.
