Ashburn was born in North Carolina in 1814. He moved to Georgia U.S. state Georgia around 1830 and began to speak out against Secession in the United States Secession , eventually becoming a Colonel in the Union army. At the end of the war he returned to Columbus, Georgia and became a judge. In this capacity he worked to remove the political disabilities of all disenfranchised Georgians. Ashburn called to order the Georgia Constitutional Convention of 1867, held in Atlanta, which also aimed at removing the disabilities placed on African Americans through the institution of slavery. Considered a scalawag, he worked with the Freedmens Bureau and alongside African American leaders such as Henry McNeal Turner . His actions quickly created several enemies across the South. Ashburn lived amongst the African American population and garnished attention from the Ku Klux Klan, which established their Columbus chapter on March 21, 1868. On March 28, Ashburn was murdered by a group of five well dressed men wearing masks.
