The south polar skua is a large seabird in the skua family Stercorariidae. An older name for the bird is MacCormick’s skua, after explorer and naval surgeon Robert McCormick, who first collected the type specimen. This species and the other large Southern Hemisphere skuas, such as the great skua, are sometimes placed in a separate genus Catharacta.

He is remembered for strongly defending [[Slavery in the United States|slavery]] and for advancing the concept of minority rights in politics, which he did in the context of defending white Southern interests from perceived Northern threats. He began his political career as a nationalist, [[Modernization theory|modernizer]], and proponent of a strong national government and [[protectionism|protective tariffs]]. By the late 1820s, his views reversed and he became a leading proponent of [[states' rights]], [[limited government]], [[Nullification (U.S. Constitution)|nullification]], and [[free trade|opposition to high tariffs]]. His beliefs and warnings heavily influenced the South's [[Secession in the United States#Confederate States of America|secession from the Union in 1860–1861]].
