Description

John Rutledge was a representative from South Carolina and a signatory on the U.S. Constitution.  He was one of the most influential delegates.  He took a moderate nationalist stance and attended all the sessions.  John Rutledge served on five committees and spoke often and effectively.  He strongly supported the protection of slavery and the concept of a strong central government.  He argued in favor of dividing society into classes as a basis for representation.

This John Rutledge mug is part of our US Constitution series profiling the 39 signatories of the US Constitution.  The U.S. Constitution was signed on September 17, 1787, by 39 delegates to the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, presided over by George Washington.  Six of these men also signed the Declaration of Independence: George Clymer, Benjamin Franklin, Robert Morris, George Read, Roger Sherman, and James Wilson.

The biographical History Mugs were created to teach and inspire individuals to learn about our diverse and interesting history.  The biographies were researched and written by history enthusiast, Robert Compton.  He colorized most of the historic photos and images used on the mugs, which were originally black and white or sepia-tone.  The images and biographies are imprinted on mugs at his studio in rural Vermont.
