he was practically a socialist in all but name, from what i understand. he had a bit of an ego, from all accounts, and he was probably a bit crooked, but the working class and the poor had it a touch easier under his corrupt, egomaniacal thumb than under other governors of the south, if what i've read is at all accurate.

My b(f)f is obsessed with him. You should read his autobiography, Every Man a King.

He did some great things, but I guess it's the tyrannical way he accomplished them that made him kinda evil.
