Talk:Edward Rutledge

replies: text: Hardly. Rutledge was cautious, and one of the last delegates to agree with declaring independence. He probably no longer favored reconciliation with Great Britain in 1776, but I don't think anyone would call him "over zealous" for separation. —Kevin Myers 07:02, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  I always heard the opposite the he was always misportrayed in movies once you look in random books on google! Salveevery1 (talk) 21:57, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

text: As of June 29, 1776 he was opposed to Independence.  This article has gone from being overly critical of Rutledge to now looking like it is being edited by his descendents.

thread_title:  I thought he was against reconciliation??? 

message: Since their are conflicting views on what Rutledge's real views on slavery were---I suggest we put both on the article please :)   I think there is really no way of know unless we talked to him---which I think would have been awesome hahaha!! ;)
I'm trying to add a controversy box, since I know lots of people disagree on this, I can't seem to figure out how to add it though. If any of you know please do! :)  This is not intended as vandalism, i'm just trying to make sure that all points are in here :)  and I can't seem to get a box/tag on it :P

replies: text: No, there seems to be no controversy about his views on slavery. Remember, we can only add information to articles that comes from reliable sources, which in this case would be something written by a professional historian, not random web sites. —Kevin Myers 03:31, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

I've been noticing a negative tone also.... This doesn't even look like an encyclopedia article!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.172.205.233 (talk) 16:39, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Why is the bias section still up? 

message: When Rutledge returned to Charleston after his law education in England, the law firm where he became partner was that of Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, who became his brother-in-law.

Thank you, Wordreader (talk) 19:34, 17 August 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Forgive me. Charles Cotesworth Pinckney is indeed mentioned in this article. I must have skipped right over that sentence. Blushingly, Wordreader (talk) 20:57, 17 August 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Edward Rutledge, John Rutledge, and Charles Coatesworth Pinkney are also mentioned in this article: Middleton-Rutledge-Pinckney family. Overkill? I think the way that article is formatted misrepresents some of the relationships. Wordreader (talk) 04:48, 18 August 2013 (UTC)
