Lowndes, William

   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.09 sec.

Lowndes, William (1782–1822)

US politician. A plantation owner and gifted orator, he was elected to Congress as a Republican representative of South Carolina (1811–22). With his friend John C Calhoun, he pressed for war against England. He chaired the Committee on Naval Affairs and the Committee of Ways and Means, and supported creation of the second US bank in 1815. Declining diplomatic appointments because of poor health, he supported the Missouri compromise to allow that state to establish its own constitution. Lowndes was born in St Bartholomew, South Carolina.
