William Gannaway "Parson" Brownlow
(August 29, 1805 – April 29, 1877) was an American newspaper publisher, Methodist minister, book author, prisoner of war, lecturer, and politician. He served as
Governor of Tennessee
from 1865 to 1869 and as a
United States Senator
from Tennessee from 1869 to 1875. Brownlow rose to prominence in the late 1830s and early 1840s as editor of the
Whig
, a polemical newspaper in
East Tennessee
that promoted
Whig Party
ideals and opposed secession in the years leading up to the
American Civil War
. Brownlow's uncompromising and radical viewpoints made him one of the most divisive figures in Tennessee political history and one of the most controversial
Reconstruction Era
politicians of the United States.
