South Baden (German: Südbaden), formed in December 1945 from the southern half of the former Republic of Baden, was a subdivision of the French occupation zone of post-WWII Germany. The state was later renamed to Baden and became a founding state of the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany, today simply Germany) in 1949. In 1952, Baden became part of the modern German state of Baden-Württemberg.

This was the last German state known as "Baden", which had existed in various forms since the 12th century.

At the Yalta Conference in 1945, France was allocated an occupation zone for the administration of post-war Germany. The south-west of Germany - previously consisting of Baden, Württemberg and the Prussian province of Hohenzollern - was divided between France in the south and the United States in the north. The border between the two zones was set so that the Autobahn connecting Karlsruhe and Munich (today the A8) was completely contained within the American zone; Bavaria was also placed under American administration. In the French zone, Hohenzollern and the southern half of Württemberg were merged to form Württemberg-Hohenzollern. The southern half of Baden was established as South Baden on 1 December 1945. Freiburg was designated as the capital of South Baden; the former capital of Baden (Karlsruhe) was in the American zone.

James Gillespie (c. 1747 – 11 January 1805) was a Democratic-Republican U.S. Congressman from North Carolina between 1793 and 1799.

There is some uncertainty about Gillespie's birthplace. The Dictionary of North Carolina Biography and some family sources state that he was born in County Monaghan, Ireland. The Biographical Dictionary of the United States Congress gives his birthplace as Kenansville, North Carolina.

Gillespie pursued classical studies and served in the North Carolina militia during the American Revolutionary War. He was a delegate to the state constitutional convention of 1776 and served first in the North Carolina House of Commons (1779–1783), then in the North Carolina Senate (1784–1786), before being elected as a Democratic-Republican to the 4th and 5th U.S. Congresses (March 4, 1793 - March 3, 1799) and later to the 8th United States Congress (March 4, 1803 - January 11, 1805).

He died January 11, 1805, shortly before completing his term in Congress. He was buried at Georgetown D.C. By an Act of Congress years after, his remains were removed to the Congressional burying ground, now the Congressional Cemetery, in Washington, DC (Cenotaph at Range 31 Site 58; Reinterred from Georgetown, 1893, buried at Range 60 Site 58).
