dbo:abstract

William Jonathan Northen (* 9. Juli 1835 im Jones County, Georgia; † 25. März 1913 in Atlanta, Georgia) war ein US-amerikanischer Politiker (Demokratische Partei) und von 1890 bis 1894 Gouverneur von Georgia. (de)
William Jonathan Northen (July 9, 1835 – March 25, 1913), was the 54th Governor of Georgia from 1890 to 1894, as well as a leading Baptist minister. Northen was president of the Georgia Baptist Convention from 1892 to 1910, and president of the Southern Baptist Convention from 1899 to 1901. His political rhetoric was based on his religious outlook, and often focused on racial issues at a time when lynching was increasing. Northen believed that advances in medicine and health would ultimately help African Americans achieve salvation. He promoted the ideology of the modernizing New South, but did not abandon the policy of white supremacy. (en)
William Jonathan Northen, född 9 juli 1835 i Jones County i Georgia, död 25 mars 1913 i Atlanta i Georgia, var en amerikansk politiker (demokrat). Han var Georgias guvernör 1890–1894. Northen utexaminerades 1853 från och arbetade sedan som lärare fram till år 1874. Därefter var han verksam som jordbrukare. Northen efterträdde 1890 John Brown Gordon som Georgias guvernör och efterträddes 1894 av William Yates Atkinson. Han var ordförande för Southern Baptist Convention 1899–1901. Han redigerade Men of Mark in Georgia, en samling biografiska essäer i sju band som utkom mellan 1907 och 1912. På ålderns höst kände han sig allt större frustration över den ökade rasismen i Georgia. I stället hade han önskat sig samarbete mellan de vita och svarta. Northen avled 1913 och gravsattes på Oakland Cemetery i Atlanta. (sv)
