Edmund Ruffin

    Edmund Ruffin byl vášnivým obhájcem práv států a obráncem otroctví. Jeho angažovanost přesahovala vědecké zájmy, neboť se stal významnou politickou postavou, která před americkou občanskou válkou naléhavě prosazovala odtržení jižních států. I přes pokročilý věk sloužil Ruffin jako voják Konfederace a je mu připisován první výstřel války u Fort Sumter. Jeho životní dráha skončila sebevraždou po porážce Konfederace, což podtrhuje jeho neústupnost a oddanost věci, které zasvětil svůj život.
