Brownlow

Brownlow (spr. braunlo), William Gannaway (auch Parson B. genannt), nordamerikan. Politiker, geb. 29. Ang. 1805 im Staate Virginia, gest. 29. April 1877 in Knoxville, wurde 1826 Reiseprediger der Methodistenkirche und zog 1828 nach Knoxville in Tennessee und befürwortete seit 1839 in seiner Zeitung »The Knoxville Whig« eine starke Zentralregierung. Nach Beginn der Sezessionsbewegung (1860) trat er, obschon ein Verteidiger der Sklaverei, für die Einheit der Union in die Schranken. 1862 in die Unionslinie nach Nashville geschafft, schrieb er seine vielbegehrten »Sketches of the rise, progress and decline of secession«. Nachdem Tennessee sich 1865 der Union wieder angeschlossen, wurde er zum Gouverneur erwählt und 1869 in den Senat der Union geschickt.
