Abstract:

Robert Potter was one of the most brilliant figures ever to stride across the political scene in North Carolina, but his political genius was overshadowed and largely nullified by an unsurpassing violence and vindictiveness that landed him in jail on one occasion, resulted in his expulsion from the House of Commons on another, and finally led to his assassination.
