(You may find mudsill at the world legal encyclopedia and the etimology of more terms).

1680s, “lowest sill of a house,” from mud + sill. The word entered U.S. political history in a speech by James M. Hammond of South Carolina, March 4, 1858, in U.S. Senate, alluding scornfully to the very mudsills of society, and the term subsequently was embraced by Northern workers in the pre-Civil War sectional rivalry.
