He served as the President of Washington and Lee University and Hampden–Sydney College.[3] Early and family lifeGeorge Addison Baxter was born on July 22, 1771 to George Baxter and Mary Love in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. He graduated from Liberty Hall (renamed Washington College in 1813, now Washington and Lee University). He married Annie C. Fleming (1801-1870), the daughter of frontier patriot and former Virginia governor William Fleming, who would survive him. CareerBaxter became a professor at his alma mater, Liberty Hall, in 1798. He served as its president from 1799 to 1829. In 1832, he became a professor at Union Theological Seminary in Prince Edward County, Virginia (now Union Presbyterian Seminary in Richmond). In 1812, he received an honorary Doctorate of Divinity from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. In 1835, Baxter served as acting president of Hampden–Sydney College.[4] His publications include An Essay on the Abolition of Slavery, published in Richmond in 1836. It argued that slaves were better off in slavery than they would be in freedom. It was a response to the rising tide of abolitionist action, especially Brown University's President Francis Wayland. Baxter is buried in Prince Edward County, Virginia. Death and legacyBaxter died in 1841. His family home, Baxter House near Edom, Virginia was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.[5] References1. ^{{cite book |title=Kaleidoscope |url=https://archive.org/stream/kaleidoscope1895hamp#page/16/mode/1up |location=Hampden–Sydney, VA |publisher=Hampden–Sydney College |date=1895 |volume=1895 |page= 16 |accessdate= 26 August 2016}} {{s-start}}{{s-aca}}{{Succession box2. ^{{cite book |title=Kaleidoscope |url=https://archive.org/stream/kaleidoscope1895hamp#page/16/mode/1up |location=Hampden–Sydney, VA |publisher=Hampden–Sydney College |date=1895 |volume=1895 |page= 16 |accessdate= 26 August 2016}} 3. ^https://archive.org/stream/kaleidoscope1895hamp#page/16/mode/1up 4. ^{{Cite book|url = https://books.google.com/books?id=wz4VAAAAYAAJ|title = Sketches of Virginia: Historical and Biographical. 2d ser|last = Foote|first = William Henry|date = 1856-01-01|publisher = J.B.
