Caption: James Zachariah George (1826-1897)
Additional Description: During the 1890 Mississippi Constitutional Convention, he led a hardline faction promoting the disenfranchisement of blacks without disenfranchising whites (as opposed to those who wanted to apply property and educational requirements to whites and blacks equally). He later successfully defended the constitution before the Senate and the Supreme Court.
