2 History of Clemson University
The roots of agriculture run deeply in South Carolina’s history. After the Civil War devastated Southern land and economy, many questioned if the agricultural way of life could survive. Thomas Green Clemson, son-in- law of South Carolina’s foremost statesman John C. Calhoun, believed that the agricultural field of study could improve through science. He offered up part of his state (Fort Hill) to found the agricultural and mechanical college today Clemson University.
