Abstract:

The state's politics are historically rooted in the contest between two men, Nathaniel Macon and Archibald D. Murphey. These men served the state in the early 19th-century and represented what became a modern division in politics. Macon was the conservative or traditionalist who opposed change and Murphey became the liberal or modernist.
