Abstract:

A highway marker in Bertie County also marks William Blount’s political career, encompassing decades of service and neighboring states. His career includes six state representative terms. Scandal erupting during his tenure as Senator yielded the threat of impeachment charge, but the charge was dismissed, leaving him clear to gain the governor’s seat in Tennessee.
