A Sephardic Jew, Cardozo was born in 1786 in Savannah. A resident of Charleston from 1796 onward, he became editor of the Southern Patriot and later its publisher. An advocate of free trade, he wrote many papers on the subject."Jacob Cardozo's forays into econometric analysis were outstanding by the standards of his day." (See Eugene Genovese, Journal of the Historical Society, Vol. I, no. 2, March 2000). The present work is a series of articles on Charleston's commerce, education system, press, railroads, charitable and medical organizations, etc. An Appendix provides material concerning the outset of the Civil War at Forts Moultrie and Sumter, as well as Fort Wagner and other Charleston-area sites.
