About this ebook

Founding Father, soldier, planter, representative in the North Carolina General Assembly, United States Congressman and Senator, Nathaniel Macon is and was one of the most important men ever from the Old North State. As of this publication, he stands as the only Speaker of the House of Representatives from North Carolina. Yet, he remains almost unknown to the public and historians alike.

While serving in Congress, he became the “Father of States’ Rights” and saw the sectional divisions in the country which exists to this day.

But, he sought only to serve and return home to his farm work the land. He wanted no praise or notice of his work, burning his papers and not allowing a portrait to be painted of his likeness. He only wanted a pile of rocks to mark his final resting place.

Macon was a protectionist in North Carolina always, an Anti-Federalist and true conservative, not believing in debt or a standing army and navy.

But he was highly respected by friend and foe alike because of his unquestioned integrity and selflessness.-Print ed.
