George W. Ashburn : ウィキペディア英語版 | George W. Ashburn
George W. Ashburn (1814 - March 30, 1868) was a Georgia politician assassinated by the Ku Klux Klan in Columbus, Georgia for his pro-African-American sentiments. He was the first murder victim of the Klan in Georgia.〔(Encyclopedia of Unsolved Crimes )〕 ==Early life==
Ashburn was born in North Carolina in 1814. He moved to Georgia around 1830. He opposed the Secession of Georgia. During the American Civil War, he was commissioned a Colonel in the Union army. He developed a deep hatred for Confederates. After President Abraham Lincoln was assassinated in April 1865, Ashburn wrote a letter to Andrew Johnson applauding the assassination on the grounds that Lincoln was not properly prepared to punish ex-Confederates for their deeds.〔(Atlanta, Cradle of the New South )〕
