  George McDuffie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
George McDuffie (1788 - 11 March 1851) was a Governor of South Carolina and a member of the United States Senate.
Born in Columbia County, Georgia, McDuffie was admitted to the bar in 1814, and served in the South Carolina General Assembly in 1818-1821, and in the national House of Representatives in 1821-1834.
McDuffie, like Calhoun, became an eloquent champion of state sovereignty; but while Calhoun emphasized state action as the only means of redressing a grievance, McDuffie paid more attention to the grievance itself.
