James Madison Wells
James Madison Wells (January 8, 1808February 28, 1899) was elected the 20th Governor of Louisiana during Reconstruction.
==Early life==
Born near Alexandria, Louisiana, on January 8, 1808, Wells' father was Samuel Levi Wells II, a member of Louisiana's constitutional convention in 1811. His mother was the former Dorcas Huie. A brother, Thomas Jefferson Wells, was involved in Louisiana politics. Samuel Wells died when James was 8 years old, leaving eight children. He was a nephew by marriage of Alexander Fulton, the businessman who founded and laid out the plat of the future city of Alexandria, Louisiana, in 1805.
Wells was educated at the Jesuit-run St. Joseph’s College in Bardstown south of Louisville, Kentucky; Partridge's Academy, Middletown, Connecticut; and Cincinnati Law School. In Cincinnati, he was tutored in law by an old-line Federalist named Charles Hammond, who edited the Cincinnati Gazette. Hammond's frequent attacks on slavery failed to stick. Wells later owned nearly one hundred slaves.〔Ted Tunnell, Crucible of Reconstruction: War, Radicalism, and Race in Louisiana, 1862-1877 (Baton Rouge: Louisiana State University Press, 1984), 22.〕
In 1829 he returned to Rapides parish, Louisiana, to manage several of his family's plantations.
