He was a Federalist voice of moderation in South Carolina who strongly opposed nullification but was eventually drown out State’s Rights supporters, including John C. Calhoun, who clerked at de Saussure’s law office. A compelling association between two sides of the Nullification debate is South Carolina in the years before the Civil War.…
