Was there another American Party? It appears that there was one around the time of the American Civil War and another in the 20th century, but I haven't been able to find any good reference of a 18th century party by that name. I suppose party in this article might not mean political party —Mulad 03:53, 14 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- Most likely it was party in the informal sense of "faction"; each colonial legislature had groups for and against independence, Middleton would have been in the "for" group. Deserves more in-depth investigation though; a specialized work on colonial Carolina would likely have a lot to say about all this. Stan 14:16, 15 Mar 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Link to Project Gutenberg
I've removed the gutenberg author template from this page, as there is no evidence that the author linked to is the same Arthur Middleton. The Arthur Middleton mentioned at PG is the author of a short text in the form of a journal, titled The Forgotten Threshold. It appears to be from too late a date to be by this writer. (ie it appears to mention the ship Titanic) I have searched through multiple library catalogs and have not been able to find a record for this item. Andrew Sly 06:28, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
