James L. Pugh

James L. Pugh

James Lawrence Pugh (December 12 1820 – March 9 1907) was a U.S. senator from Alabama, as well as a member of the Confederate Congress during the American Civil War.

Pugh was born in Burke County, Georgia, and moved to Alabama in 1824. He was admitted to the bar in 1841. He represented Alabama's second district in the United State House of Representatives from 1859 to 1861.

He then served as an officer in the Confederate States Army. He was subsequently elected as a representative to both the First Confederate Congress and the Second Confederate Congress.

Following the war and the restoration of his citizenship, Pugh was a delegate to the 1875 state constitutional convention. He was elected to fill the term left by the death of George S. Houston, and was reelected twice, serving in the Senate from November 24 1880 to March 3 1897. He did not run for a fourth term.
