What happened to Atlanta as a result of the bourbon triumvirate?

Explanation:

Demise of the Triumvirate

The term Bourbon Triumvirate refers to Georgia's three most powerful and prominent politicians of the post-Reconstruction era: Joseph E. Brown, Alfred H. Colquitt, and John B. Gordon. This trio practically held a lock on the state's U.S. Senate seats and governor's office from 1872 to 1890: Brown as senator from 1880 until 1890; Colquitt as governor from 1876 through 1882, and as senator from 1883 until 1894; and Gordon as senator from 1872 until 1880, governor from 1886 until 1890, and senator again from 1891 until 1897. The political careers of all three men benefited from their service during the Civil War (1861-65); Brown had served as the governor of Confederate Georgia, and Colquitt and Gordon had both risen to the rank of major general in the Confederate army by the war's end.

Colquitt, one of the state's leading planters, cast himself as a representative of the interests of the old planter class, while Brown, an industrialist who became one of Georgia's first millionaires, represented the New South businessmen. Gordon had a mixed record as a businessman and a worse record as a planter, but Gordon excelled at espousing the New South rhetoric of commercial and industrial development by shrewdly exploiting the Lost Cause of the Confederacy.

All three men had extensive interests in the railroad and coal-mining industries, among other commercial pursuits. All three championed white supremacy; a frugal state government that demanded little of taxpayers, and accordingly provided few services; and the maintenance of subservient labor forces on farms and in factories. Gordon and especially Brown both made use of convict labor in their industrial enterprises.

The "Atlanta Ring"

While Brown, Colquitt, and Gordon shared many economic and political interests and beliefs, they also differed on many points, and historians have since questioned the validity of the epithet "Bourbon Triumvirate."  

The noted southern historian C. Vann Woodward argued that the term Bourbon, which implies a steadfast refusal to accept or learn from the defeat of the Civil War and adapt to new realities, hardly fit these three postbellum Georgia leaders, and other historians have convincingly shown that the trio did not possess the unity of interests and purpose that the term triumvirate implies.

More aptly, the trio could be viewed as the core of the larger "Atlanta Ring," which also included Atlanta Constitution editors Evan Howell and Henry W. Grady. These two preeminent journalists, particularly Grady, played important roles in the trio's political strategizing, most notably in the suspicious series of events involving Gordon's sudden resignation from the U.S. Senate and his replacement by Brown in 1880, as well as Gordon's somewhat delayed but ultimately successful entry into the 1886 governor's race. In this contest, Grady masterfully exploited Gordon's Civil War legacy to help him derail the seemingly unstoppable campaign of Augustus O. Bacon of Macon, a leading opponent of the Atlanta Ring who later became a U.S. senator himself.

Demise of the Triumvirate After Gordon became governor, the always limited solidarity among the members of the Bourbon Triumvirate began to collapse.
