E. Merton Coulter
Ellis Merton Coulter (1890–1981) was an American historian of the South, author, and a founding member of the Southern Historical Association. Like nearly all Southern scholars of his day, he believed in segregation and white supremacy. For four decades, he was a professor at the University of Georgia in Athens, Georgia, where he was chair of the History Department for 18 years. He was editor of the ''Georgia Historical Quarterly'' for 50 years, and published 26 books on the American Civil War and Reconstruction; his study of Kentucky remains especially valuable. He was coeditor of, and contributed two volumes to, the major collaborative scholarly history of the South.〔Bailey, 2001〕
==Background and early life==
Coulter was the son of the moderately wealthy John Ellis Coulter, a merchant and land speculator in the small town of Connelly Springs, North Carolina, in the western Piedmont. His father had hoped his son would go into the ministry, but Coulter chose history instead.
Both of Coulter's grandfathers served in the Confederate States Army. One fell in the Civil War while the other was a POW. During Reconstruction he was indicted for Ku Klux Klan-related violence and acquitted by an all-black jury.〔(E. Merton Coulter, ''New Georgia Encyclopedia'' )〕
Coulter earned his undergraduate degree at the University of North Carolina (UNC), mentored by J. G. de Roulhac Hamilton, a prominent historian who emphasized how Southern whites had suffered under Reconstruction and the lack of readiness of freedmen and blacks for suffrage. In 1914 Coulter entered the University of Wisconsin–Madison for graduate doctoral work, where he studied under additional professors sympathetic to Southern thinking about the Civil War and Reconstruction.
