Thomas E. Watson is perhaps best known to Georgians today by his imposing statue near the steps of the Georgia capitol.
Watson appealed to Georgians as a defender of the old way of life when he was first elected to the state legislature, representing McDuffie County, in 1882.
During the trial of Leo Frank in 1913, Watson's strong attacks on Frank and on the pervasive influence of Jews in the state heavily influenced sentiment against Frank, who was lynched by a mob in 1915.
