William L. Saunders
William Laurence Saunders (1835-1891) was an American attorney, newspaper editor, historian, Ku Klux Klan chief organizer, and the North Carolina Secretary of State from 1879 until his death in 1891.
==Biography==
Saunders served as a colonel of the 46th North Carolina Infantry Regiment of the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War. He was wounded at the Battle of Fredericksburg and the Battle of the Wilderness. Saunders served as chief clerk of the North Carolina Senate for several years. In 1879, he was appointed Secretary of State by Gov. Thomas Jordan Jarvis to replace his brother-in-law, Joseph A. Engelhard, who had died in office. Saunders then won election to the office in 1880, 1884 and 1888.〔(Dictionary of North Carolina Biography )〕
He was the editor of the ten-volume ''Colonial Records of North Carolina'',〔(About the Colonial and State Records of North Carolina )〕 and was a member and secretary-treasurer of the Board of Trustees of his alma mater, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.〔(William Laurence Saunders Papers )〕
Carolina Hall at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill was formerly named Saunders Hall, to recognize Saunders' "work as a compiler of historical documents."〔(The Carolina Story: Names across the Landscape )〕 In the late 20th and early 21st centuries, there were calls from UNC students to remove his name from the building because of his leadership role in the Ku Klux Klan.〔(News & Observer )〕 In 2015, the building was renamed "Carolina Hall".〔(The Washington Post: UNC takes on its past, renaming hall that has long honored a KKK leader )〕
He is buried in the graveyard at Calvary Episcopal Church, Tarboro, North Carolina.
