Biography

Gavin Colrain se narodil v Sandersville, Georgia in 1800, the son of Irish parents who had fled Ireland in the aftermath of the failed Irish Rebellion of 1798. Colrain worked as a farmer to pay for his legal education, and while practicing law, he founded the "Wolfe's Hall" plantation near Deepstep, named his estate in honor of Wolfe Tone. Colrain se přidružil k Demokraticko-republikánská strana's radical wing, a sloužil ve Státním sněmu v letech 1824 až 1834 jako republikán a Jacksonian Democrat. Colrain údajně mluvil za obyčejného (bílého) člověka, ale vybudoval tento populism na vrcholu platformy white supremacism. Colrain zemřel v roce 1853.
