With a flag named for him, what historical colonial South Carolinian built the wharf in Charleston, and eventually became known as "the Sam Adams of the South"?

James Gadsden was instrumental in the so-called Patriot movement that started in the colony of South Carolina right around the time of the Revolutionary War. He was one of the early figures that cemented South Carolina's storied history as a conservative state. The Gadsden flag is famous for its "Don't Tread on Me" slogan.
