HE BUILT HIS OWN SUGAR MILL, COMMISSIONED A LIGHTHOUSE FOR THE ISLAND IN 1820, REINTRODUCED THE USE OF TABBY AS A PRIMARY BUILDING MATERIAL ON THE COAST, CONTRIBUTED IMPORTANT TECHNIQUES FOR THE CULTURE OF SEA ISLAND COTTON, AND GRADUALLY DEVELOPED SAPELO ISLAND (SITUATED ABOUT 60 MILES SOUTH OF SAVANNAH GEORGIA NEAR BRUNSWICK) INTO AN ANTEBELLUM PLANTATION EMPIRE. SPALDING AND HIS CHILDREN OWNED 385 SLAVES ON SAPELO IN THE 1850S. |
