	William Edward Sims - Civil War and Reconstruction History
		William E. Sims was born and raised at Woodlands Plantation in the community of Sligo, just south of Woodville, Mississippi, the hometown of Jefferson Davis.
		Sims was taken under the wing of his prominent father-in-law James Whittle, who brought him into his own law practice, arranged his appointment as lay reader of the local Episcopal church, and introduced him to the workings of the state Democratic Party (young Sims served briefly on the state central committee).
		As a result, Sims was labeled a “scalawag.” In the process of his political reformation he was appointed by the Federal government to be one of two trustees of the newly-mandated public Pittsylvania County schools.
