William Carroll (Tennessee politician)
William Carroll (March 3, 1788March 22, 1844) was an American politician who served as Governor of Tennessee twice, from 1821 to 1827 and again from 1829 to 1835. He held the office longer than any other person, including the state's only other six-term governor, John Sevier.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= William Carroll )〕 He is considered one of the state's most popular political figures of the 1820s, and is credited with initiating numerous legal and tax reforms.〔Phillip Langsdon, ''Tennessee: A Political History'' (Franklin, Tenn.: Hillsboro Press, 2000), pp. 59-63, 78-80, 91-93.〕
Carroll joined the Tennessee militia as a captain in 1812, and quickly rose through the ranks. He participated in several engagements during the Creek War, and, as a major-general, commanded Andrew Jackson's center at the Battle of New Orleans in 1815.〔Emma Carroll Tucker, "(Governor William Carroll )," ''Tennessee Historical Society Quarterly'', Vol. 2, No. 3, pp. 388-396.〕
==Early life==
Like two of his predecessors, Archibald Roane and Joseph McMinn, Carroll was a native of Pennsylvania, having been born near Pittsburgh. His father, Thomas Carroll, was a business associate of Albert Gallatin, and had established a successful chain of hardware stores in the Pittsburgh area. William Carroll had little formal education as a child, but acquired practical learning from working in his father's business.〔 He moved to Nashville in 1808 and established a branch store in the city.〔Augustus Buell, ''(History of Andrew Jackson: Pioneer, Patriot, Soldier, Politician and President )'', Vol. I (New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1904), pp. 284-287.〕〔Tom Horton, "(Jackson-Benton Quarrel Typical of Early Southern Politics )," ''Moultrie News'', 6 February 2008. Retrieved: 21 September 2012.〕 He presented himself to Andrew Jackson with a letter of introduction from Gallatin.〔
