Who was Eliza Lucas Pinckney?
The ability of 16-year-old Eliza Lucas was put to the test when her father was deployed to Antigua in 1740. Upon his departure, Col. Lucas left the management of his household and three South Carolina plantations in his eldest daughter's capable hands. In her father's absence, Eliza became the first to successfully cultivate indigo in the colony. She proceeded to export the crop. Never idle, Eliza educated her younger sister Polly and the negro children on the Lucas plantations. This sharp Carolina lady helped to build the economy of the emergent colony through her thoughtful business schemes.
In May of 1744, Eliza Lucas married Charles Pinckney and proceeded to manage their extensive plantations as well as the Lucas holdings.
Eliza, as a devoted wife and mother, vowed “to make a good wife to my dear Husband in all its several branches; to make all my actions Correspond with that sincere love and Duty I bear him… I am resolved to be a good mother to my children, to pray for them, to set them good examples, to give them good advice, to be careful both of their souls and bodies, to watch over their tender minds.”
Charles and Eliza had four children: Charles Cotesworth, George Lucas (died soon after birth in June 1747), Harriott, and Thomas.
The surviving Pinckney sons became influential leaders. Charles Cotesworth Pinckney was a signer of the U.S. Constitution and was the Federalist Vice-Presidential candidate in 1800. In 1804 and 1808, he was the Federalist candidate for President. Thomas was appointed Minister to Spain, where he negotiated Pinckney's Treaty in 1795 to guarantee US navigation rights on the Mississippi River. He was the Federalist Vice-Presidential candidate in 1796.
Eliza Lucas Pinckney met her beloved Savior in 1793.
She left behind a beautiful example of true Biblical womanhood and entrepreneurship. She is indeed a true mother of our country.

Unfortunately there are a lot of AIDS/Herpes denials on Herbal cures still out there. I did research on them after I was tested HIV/Herpes positive I was so worried am I going to die soon. I continue my search again on herbal remedy for Std, then I found lots of testimony on how Dr Itua Herbal Medicine Cured HIV/Aids, Herpes Virus,Copd, Hepatitis, Diabetes, On websites sharing their testimonies, which made much more sense to me. All the authors pronounce Dr Itua As a man with Good Heart, I pick interest in their testimonies and I contact him about my situation then he gave me procedure how it works, I proceed after one week he courier his Herbal Medicine to me and instruct me on how to drink it for two weeks to cure. I receive His Herbal Medicine so I drank it for two weeks as I was told then after 2 days I go for a test I found out I was cured from HIV/Aids & Herpes Virus, I pay homage to him 2 months ago to his country to celebrate with him on his African festival which he told me it usually happens every year. I know there are lots of (HIV)/Aids&Herpes Virus denials of Herbal Remedy movement the same few doctors and they represent a very small faction of the community. I could have died because I refused Natural Herbs Cures for so long, but luckily, by the grace of God I am alive to tell my story.
