Description: Statue of Georgia Civil War governor Joseph E. Brown and his wife--said to be of the few husband-and-wife statues in the world. It is located on southwest corner of the Georgia state capitol square. <a href="http://georgiainfo.galileo.usg.edu/statues/joebrown.htm" rel="nofollow">georgiainfo.galileo.usg.edu/statues/joebrown.htm</a> Joseph Emerson Brown (April 15, 1821 – November 30, 1894), often referred to as Joe Brown, was the 42nd Governor of Georgia from 1857 to 1865, and a U.S. Senator from 1880 to 1891. Governor Brown was a leading secessionist in 1861, taking his state out of the Union and into the Confederacy. A former Whig, and a firm believer in state's rights, he defied the national government's wartime policies. He resisted the Confederate military draft, and tried to keep as many soldiers at home as possible (to fight off invaders, he said). He denounced Confederate President Jefferson Davis as an incipient tyrant. Brown challenged Confederate impressment of animals, goods, and slaves. Several other governors followed his lead. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_E._Brown" rel="nofollow">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_E._Brown</a> en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_Creative_Commons_...
