William Mackenzie Davidson
William Mackenzie Davidson (December 1857 - January 18, 1930) was a planter, politician, and civic figure in St. Joseph, Louisiana, the seat of government of Tensas Parish, one of the Mississippi River delta parishes with majority African American populations, rich in farming, and susceptible to periodic flooding.
==Background==
Davidson was born to Scottish immigrants in New York City. As a child, he was brought to Natchez, Mississippi, where he later attended nearby Jefferson Military Academy. He then relocated to Waterproof in southern Tensas Parish. Despite Davidson's northern birth, his father had fought for the Confederacy in the American Civil War. In 1878, Davidson himself was among the approximately one hundred white posse members who joined parish judge and later State Senator Charles C. Cordill in crushing by force a revolt of African American resistance to the segregated order, imposed despite the Fifteenth Amendment. From this incident, Davidson was arrested and carried to New Orleans to stand trial on fraud charges, but the case was suspended.〔Frederick W. Williamson and George T. Goodman, eds. ''Eastern Louisiana: A History of the Watershed of the Ouachita River and the Florida Parishes'', 3 vols. (Monroe: Historical Record Association, 1939, pp. 982-983, 985-986〕
In 1880, at the age of twenty-four, Davidson moved the short distance north to St. Joseph and became a merchant and planter. He married Carrie Moore (1866-1957), daughter of Joseph Moore, one of the wealthiest men in Tensas Parish. He moved with comfort and ease into the circle of the Tensas elite.
