THOMAS (1750-1828) , See also:American statesman and diplomat, was See also:born in See also:Charleston, See also:South Carolina, on the 23rd of See also:October 1750, a younger See also:brother of See also:Charles Cotesworth Pinckney (q.v.). Educated in See also:England, he returned to Charles-ton in 1773, and was admitted to the See also:bar in 1774. During the See also:War of See also:Independence his See also:early training at the See also:French military See also:college at See also:Caen enabled him to render effective service to See also:General See also:Benjamin See also:Lincoln in 1778–1779, to See also:Count d'See also:Estaing (1779), to General Lincoln in the See also:defence of Charleston and afterwards to General Horatio See also:Gates. In the See also:battle of See also:Camden he was badly wounded and captured, remaining a prisoner for more than a See also:year. Subsequently he was See also:governor of South Carolina in 1787–1789; presided over the See also:state See also:convention which ratified the Federal constitution in 1788; was a member of the state legislature in 1i91; and was See also:United States See also:minister to See also:Great See also:Britain in 1992–1796.

time (1794–1795) he was also See also:envoy extraordinary to See also:Spain, and in this capacity negotiated (1795) the important Treaty of See also:San Lorenzo el Real; by that treaty the boundary between the United States and See also:East and W'r'est See also:Florida and between the United States and " See also:Louisiana " was settled (Spain relinquishing all claims east of the See also:Mississippi above 310 N.

In 1796 Pinckney was the Federalist See also:candidate for See also:vice-See also:president, and in 1797-1801 he was a Federalist representative in See also:Congress. During the War of 1812 he was a See also:major-general. In 1825 he succeeded his brother as president-general of the Society of the See also:Cincinnati. He died in Charleston on the 2nd of See also:November 1828. Pinckney, like many other South Carolina revolutionary leaders, was of aristocratic See also:birth and politics, closely connected with England by ties of See also:blood, See also:education and business relations. This renders the more remarkable their attitude in the War of Independence, for which they made great sacrifices. Men of Pinckney's type were not in sympathy with the progressive democratic spirit of See also:America, and they began to withdraw from politics after about 1800.
