Augustus Baldwin Longstreet

Augustus Baldwin Longstreet (September 22, 1790 – July 9, 1870) was an American lawyer, minister, journalist, educator, and humorist, known for his book ''Georgia Scenes''. He held strong pro-slavery and pro-secessionist views which he publicly advocated for in his various positions. He personally owned dozens of slaves throughout his life. He held the presidency of several southern universities, including the University of Mississippi (twice), South Carolina College (now the University of South Carolina), and Emory College (now Emory University).

Longstreet was the uncle of the senior Confederate General James Longstreet, whom he helped raise, and to whom he was a mentor. Provided by Wikipedia
