Шаблон:Infobox Political post The Attorney General of South Carolina is the state's chief legal officer and prosecutor.[1]
History
On February 5, 1698, Nicholas Trott was appointed as the first Attorney General of South Carolina during its time as a British colony. He arrived in Charleston and assumed his duties the following year.[2] Alexander Moultrie, half-brother of Revolutionary War figure and future governor William Moultrie, was named the state's first Attorney General under its first state "President", John Rutledge, in 1776. Rutledge had been provincial Attorney General himself for 10 months before independence. Moultrie was impeached and resigned in 1792 for diverting state funds into the Yazoo land company fraud.
After the 1876 South Carolina gubernatorial election, the state was left with a contested election and a dual government, from the election in November through April 1877. Republican Robert B. Elliott served briefly in this situation under Republican governor Daniel Henry Chamberlain, while James Conner held office under fellow Confederate officer and Democrat Wade Hampton III. Hampton and Conner prevailed.
