A tremendous controversy raged in Charleston about this purchase. The three major combatants in this dispute were the long-settled Sephardic Jewish community, the environmental ecology enthusiasts, and the Afro-American population. The three-way partition represented three widely divergent points of view and was resolved in a way.
