"In the year 1800, South Carolina was home to more Jews than any other place in North America. As old as the province of Carolina itself, the Jewish presence has been a vital but little-examined element in the growth of South Carolina's cities and towns, in the economy of slavery and post-slavery society and in the creation of American Jewish religious identity.".
"The record of a landmark exhibition that will change the way people think about Jewish history and American history, A Portion of the People: Three Hundred Years of Southern Jewish Life presents a remarkable group of objects and a provocative investigation of the people and circumstances that produced them. The book and exhibition culminate a seven-year collaboration by the Jewish Historical Society of South Carolina, McKissick Museum of the University of South Carolina, and the College of Charleston.
A Portion of the People is an important addition to southern arts and letters."--BOOK JACKET.

First Sentence
"The unusual provisions for religious tolerance offered by Carolina's Fundamental Constitutions of 1669 were never endorsed by the colonial assembly, but news of an environment friendly to Christian dissenters and Jews spread quickly in Europe and the West Indies."
