Talk:Arthur Middleton
From Academic Kids
Was there another American Party? It appears that there was one around the time of the American Civil War and another in the 20th century, but I haven't been able to find any good reference of a 18th century party by that name. I suppose party in this article might not mean political party —Mulad 03:53, 14 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- Most likely it was party in the informal sense of "faction"; each colonial legislature had groups for and against independence, Middleton would have been in the "for" group. Deserves more in-depth investigation though; a specialized work on colonial Carolina would likely have a lot to say about all this. Stan 14:16, 15 Mar 2004 (UTC)
