Edwin de Leon (1818-1891) was a Confederate diplomat, writer, and journalist. He was born in Columbia, S.C., of Sephardic Jewish parents. His father was Mordecai Hendricks de Leon, a physician and three-term mayor of Columbia, S.C. His mother was Rebecca Lopez de Leon. As a Confederate diplomatic agent on a confidential mission for President Jefferson Davis, he was received in the highest circles, both in England and in France, and personally pleaded the cause of the Confederacy with Lord Palmerston and the emperor Napoleon.
