Martin Witherspoon Gary
Martin Witherspoon Gary (March 25, 1831 – April 9, 1881) was an attorney and a soldier, advancing to the rank of brigadier general in the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War. He played a major leadership role in the 1876 Democratic political campaign to elect Wade Hampton III as governor, planning a detailed campaign to disrupt the Republican Party and black voters by violence and intimidation.〔(Ehren K.
