Alexander Hamilton Stephens: was vice president of the Confederacy. "Our new government is founded upon exactly the opposite ideas; its foundations are laid, its cornerstone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery, subordination to the superior race, is his natural and normal condition," he said, according to the Washington Post. Stephens County and the school district are named after him.
