What were they thinking? pg 39

But wait, wasn't Charles Pinckney the bad guy? Isn't he the guy who claimed to have his own proposal, sent a quickly made-up one to Adams decades later to ensure his place in the history books? Isn't he the guy who fought so hard for slavery?

History isn't a story. Real-life people are rarely "the bad guy."

Pinckney is largely credited with something he probably never did. The irony is he's largely uncredited for giving one of the most important speeches of the convention. Literally the last moments of the last day.
