Funny you should say this. General James Jackson was Defeated for re-election in 1791 by his former Revolutionary commander, General Anthony Wayne (for whom Wayne County is named), in a campaign rife with charges of irregularities on the part of Wayne's supporters, Jackson contested the outcome. He was convinced that Wayne had not won his seat fairly so he mounted a campaign against Wayne and his supporters, and finally succeeded in removing Wayne from Congress. Making effective use of grand jury presentments and newspapers, Jackson secured a seat in the legislature and subsequently oversaw the ouster of Wayne's campaign manager from his state judgeship. A Grand Jury In Effingham County Sent A Official Letter Of Thanks To General James Jackson.They thanked him for his zealous and Patriotic investigation into a illegal election in Camden County in 1791.
