Howdy!

My name is Jeremiah.
I am a businessman in my twenties, with many hobbies, most notably studying history. I am most interested in the history of the Southern United States, particularly South Carolina, before the Civil War (Or War of Northern Aggression, depending on how literally you take definitions).

I also am a musician. I went professional with a band soon after I graduated high school, and toured across several states. My heart is now back in Carolina, with my family, on the family farm that has been passed down for four generations.

My wife is from Louisiana, therefore I also tend to start/edit articles that have something to do with her state's history and heritage.

Quotes

"To secure these [inalienable] rights [to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness], governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed... Whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness." --Thomas Jefferson: Declaration of Independence, 1776. ME 1:29, Papers 1:429


"The ground of liberty is to be gained by inches, [and] we must be contented to secure what we can get from time to time and eternally press forward for what is yet to get. It takes time to persuade men to do even what is for their own good." --Thomas Jefferson to Charles Clay, 1790. ME 8:4


"The Government of the absolute majority instead of the Government of the people is but the Government of the strongest interests; and when not efficiently checked, it is the most tyrannical and oppressive that can be devised." --John C. Calhoun
