William Gannaway Brownlow was an American politician during the reconstruction era. Even though he supported slavery, Brownlow, according to Larned, opposed secession and was imprisoned by the Confederacy for refusing to take an oath of allegiance to the southern government. In 1858, Brownlow and Reverend Abram Pryne entered into a debate over slavery, a debate that was originally supposed to be with Frederick Douglass. Brownlow stated at the opening of this debate:

“Not only will I throughout this discussion openly and boldly take the ground that Slavery as it exists in America ought to be perpetuated, but that slavery is an established and inevitable condition to human society.”

 

Curiously, following the debate and into the Civil War, Brownlow changed his stance and began supporting abolitionists and pursuing emancipation efforts.
