TEXT ON THE NORTH CAROLINA HISTORICAL MARKER NO. D-35

George Davis-Confederate Senator, 1862-64, and Attorney General, 1864-65. Birthplace stood 3 mi. east.

FROM WIKIPEDIA
"George Davis (March 1, 1820 – February 23, 1896) was a Confederate politician and railroad counsel who served as attorney general of the Confederate States for 480 days in 1864 and 1865.

A skilled orator, he gave a notable public speech in March 1861 in which he argued that North Carolina should secede from the United States of America to protect the private economic interest in chattel slavery."
