Monday marks the 233rd anniversary of the ex*****on of South Carolina patriot, planter, and legislator Colonel Isaac Hayne. Beginning his service to the Patriot cause in the Colleton County regiment, Hayne served until Charleston fell to the British in 1780. Following the siege, Hayne was paroled. When the British then demanded that he take up arms against the Patriots, Hayne refused. Believing this request by the British was a violation of the agreement of his parole, Hayne again joined in the fight against the British. Hayne was captured by Colonel Nisbet Balfour and was imprisoned in the Exchange Building in Charleston. Despite multiple petitions for a pardon, British commander Lord Rawdon refused. Hayne was hanged as a traitor of the Crown on August 4, 1781.

The document below, from the SCHS archives, is a handwritten account of Hayne’s case from his attorney, John Colcock. In the five page document, Colcock questions the legality of Lord Rawdon’s decision to execute Hayne without a full trial. He goes on to explain that Hayne’s “earnest desire and last request was that he might die the death of a soldier taken in Arms”.
