William Gray

Born in Virginia, raised in Tennessee, and settling in Texas, William Gray has consistently had his life uprooted and disrupted by clericism, conservatism, and slavemongering. Whether it's Mexican conservatives demanding he embrace Papistry or the slavemongering revolution that led Texas into exile, the taste of conservative tyranny has left him bitter and ruthless with a thirst for liberty.

That thirst led him to founding the Whig Party of Texas, placing himself as the opposition to the conservative establishment of the Democratic party. While his influence over Texas might be small, his efforts should not be underestimated.
