Thomas Nelson Page (1853-1922) was an American author, lawyer, and United States Ambassador to Italy during President Woodrow Wilson's administration. Page frequently wrote about the Antebellum South in his novels and expressed sympathy towards the Confederacy after the Civil War. Some of his books are controversial due to their racist depictions of African Americans in both the antebellum and post-Civil War eras.
