William Bilbo
William N. Bilbo (circa 1815–1867) was an American attorney, journalist, and entrepreneur. He lived in Tennessee until 1864, when he moved north. In 1865, Bilbo helped Secretary of State William H. Seward lobby for passage of a constitutional amendment banning slavery.
==Lawyer, journalist, and entrepreneur in Tennessee==
Born in Virginia, Bilbo became a prosperous lawyer in Nashville, Tennessee, where he was among the leaders of the Know-Nothing Party. He also worked as a journalist with the ''Nashville Gazette'', and was briefly the proprietor of the paper.〔''The Papers of Andrew Johnson, 1858–1860'', p. 503 (Johnson et al. eds., U. Tenn. 1972).〕 Bilbo purchased a large amount of coal country, and persuaded a group of New York financiers to help establish a coal mining company in Tennessee, called the Sewanee Mining Company; Bilbo then sold his land to the company at a profit.〔Lewis, David. ''Sloss Furnaces and the Rise of the Birmingham District: An Industrial Epic'', p. 46 (U. Alabama 1994).〕〔Cox, LaWanda and Cox, John. ''Politics, Principle, and Prejudice, 1865–1866'' (Free Press of Glencoe 1963).〕
Bilbo was apparently a loyal member of the Confederacy until 1864, when he suddenly moved north.〔 He knew Abraham Lincoln's Secretary of State (William H. Seward) from their days in the Whig Party.〔Vorenberg, Michael. ''Final Freedom: The Civil War, the Abolition of Slavery, and the Thirteenth Amendment'', p. 182 (Cambridge U. Press 2001).〕
