Who on the list below is not a famous person from the U.S. state of South Carolina?

Dorothea Dix is not a famous person from the U.S. state of South Carolina. Born in Hampden, Maine, in 1802, Dix became famous as a social reformer whose devotion to the welfare of the mentally ill led to widespread international reforms.

After seeing horrific conditions in a state of Massachusetts prison, she spent 40 years lobbying U.S. and Canadian legislators to establish state hospitals for the mentally ill. Her efforts directly affected the building of 32 institutions in the U.S.

In 1848, Dix asked Congress to grant more than 12 million acres of land as a public endowment to be used for the benefit of the mentally ill as well as the blind and deaf. Both houses of Congress approved the bill, but in 1854 it was vetoed by President Franklin Pierce. Upset with events, Dix went to Europe.

She discovered enormous disparity between public and private hospitals, and great differences among countries. Within many countries, she recommended key reforms.

Dix died in 1887 at 85.
