"Rising from a humble background, '''Abraham Baldwin''' achieved success as minister, educator, lawyer, and politician. He was a [[Connecticut]] Yankee transplanted to [[Georgia]] who served his adopted State in many capacities. He helped found the college that was the forerunner of the University of Georgia and sat in the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate for almost two decades. During the [[Constitutional Convention]], he supported the small States on the crucial vote in the representation clash and sat on the committee on postponed matters." <ref>http://www.nps.gov/history/history/online_books/constitution/bio1.htm</ref>
