Abstract:

Thomas Bragg was born 1810 in Warrenton, one of three brothers; John Bragg, a member of Congress, and Braxton Bragg, the heralded Confederate General. Thomas gained his own fame within the state as Governor in 1854 and on a national scale as U.S. Senator after two terms as Governor. In Confederate government, President Davis appointed Bragg as Attorney General in November 1861, but surprisingly resigned in March 1862 for reasons still unknown. Afterward, he resumed his law practice in Raleigh until his death in January 1872.
