Harper, Robert Goodloe (1765–1825)

US lawyer and public official. He became a prominent Federalist leader, representing South Carolina, in the US House of Representatives (1795–1801) before leaving public service in 1801 to practice law in Baltimore. A founding member of the American Colonization Society (1817), he suggested the name Liberia for the proposed African colony for freed slaves. Harper was born near Fredericksburg, Virginia. He served briefly during the American Revolution, graduated from the College of New Jersey (now Princeton) in 1785, and settled in Ninety Six, South Carolina, where he practised law, taught school, and entered politics.
