Andrew Crowley

Andrew Crowley was the mayor of Atlanta before it fell to the United States Army. He approached U.S. General Irving Morrell, who confronted him about Atlanta's role in shipping Negroes to camps. Crowley inadvertently acknowledged that they had done so, and was horrified by idea that Morrell would execute 50 white people for the death of any Negro. Morrell then angrily banished Crowley from his presence.
