  • Henry Watkins Collier (January 17, 1801 – August 28, 1855 in Bailey Springs, Alabama) was the 14th Governor of the U.S. state of Alabama from 1849 to 1853. He was born in Lunenburg County, Virginia, son of James Collier and Elizabeth Bouldin. Collier arrived in Tuscaloosa, Alabama from South Carolina in 1823. He sat on the Alabama Supreme Court for 18 years, of which 12 were as chief justice. He married Mary Ann Williams Battle. His only son, a doctor, died of cholera as a young man. He was a staunch believer in slavery and states rights, who would not tolerate discussions of abolition. He was a friend of Dorothea Dix and promoted education, care of the mentally ill, and prison reform in Alabama. The family was closely allied with those of Rufus King (one daughter marrying his nephew, the other marrying Prof. Geo. Benagh of Tuscaloosa) and Gov. Clay. Following his term as Governor Collier was offered a seat in the United States Senate but declined and retired. He died in Bailey Springs, AL, of gastroenteritis. While he was governor of Alabama, Collier had managed to offend a group of visiting chargés d'affaires from France, who were representing business interests in the port of Mobile. Collier rebuffed numerous invitations they made to him, leading them to publicly criticize him. Their criticisms were reported in the newspapers of the and the based out of Montgomery. In response to this Collier invited the French chargés d'affaires to the governor's mansion in Montgomery, however the meeting proved a disaster. The French chargés d'affaires all left feeling "greatly offended." Collier later said "the French are unmanly and frivolous, their morals are universally profligate" and he did not care if he offended them. The French diplomats responded to this by cultivating a relationship with Alabama politician James Shields, who they believed would better serve their interests. Shields proved much friendlier to the French diplomats, frequently having them to his "parlor" as guests and "showing them off." In the 1851 Alabama gubernatorial election Shields had the very public backing of France's diplomatic representatives and of the French expatriate business community in Mobile. In a move later cited as his reason for having to depart the United States, the French ambassador in Washington DC, , took the unprecedented step of endorsing Shields in the election and of "encouraging the men of Alabama to make him governor." Shortly before the election a visiting French businessman, Yves de la Tour d'Auvergne, whose operations were primarily based out of Martinique and French Guiana, spoke to Congressman David Hubbard in a way that Hubbard characterized as condescending, explaining basic facts about Alabama to Hubbard as if Hubbard did not already know them (including deliberately obvious things such as which city was the capital, and the fact Alabama had not been a state for a hundred years) and also referring to Hubbard in the third person, in English, while Hubbard was present and speaking of him "as though he were a fool." During this exchange Hubbard had been an invited guest of d'Auvergne and was "shocked" by the treatment. Hubbard was known as a major public supporter of Collier, and Monsieur de la Tour d'Auvergne gave a very public toast to Shields at the event. Shields was considered the invité d'honneur or "guest of honor" at the event, and Hubbard later came to the conclusion he had only been invited as an insult. After the election it became clear to both d'Auvergne and ambassador that they had greatly misjudged public opinion amongst "the leading men of Alabama," following this d'Auvergne departed Mobile. Following his term as Governor Collier was offered a seat in the United States Senate but declined and retired. (en)

Han var guvernör i Alabama 1849–1853. Collier studerade juridik i Nashville och inledde sin karriär som advokat i Alabama. År 1826 gifte han sig med Mary Ann Battle som kom från en förmögen och inflytelserik släkt i North Carolina. Mellan 1837 och 1849 tjänstgjorde Collier som chefsdomare i Alabamas högsta domstol. Collier efterträdde 1849 Reuben Chapman som guvernör och efterträddes 1853 av John A. Winston. Dorothea Dix, som reste runt i USA för att förespråka sociala reformer, togs emot av Collier i Montgomery år 1850. Guvernören tog en välvillig inställning till Dix reformförslag och tog steg för att reformera fängelsesystemet i Alabama och inrätta ett mentalsjukhus med finansiering från delstaten. Metodisten Collier avled 1855 och gravsattes på Evergreen Cemetery i Tuscaloosa. (sv)
