George Wallace was an African-American state senator from Georgia during the Reconstruction Era.[1] He represented Hancock County, Baldwin County, and Washington County. He was a Republican.[1] On September 12, 1868, the Georgia State Senate voted to exclude members with mixed heritage. The Georgia House had already kicked out their African American members.[1][2][3][4]

During the American Civil War, Wallace was reported to have been a body servant for Captain Howard Tinsley, to have been at Appomatox when Robert E. Lee surrendered, and to have ridden General Philip Cook's war-horse "Old Whitey" back to family members of its owner.[5]
