Abstract:
Lord Granville, wealthy land owner in the North Carolina Colony, attempted to augment the population of the region by recruiting Moravian settlers.

Returning to Bethlehem on 2 February 1753, Spangenberg was successful, having located an unclaimed tract of land encompassing approximately 100,000 acres, outside of Muddy Creek.

Salem soon became a craft and manufacturing center, offering a full slate of services including weaving, tanning, and distilling.

Abstract:
Indian troubles obliged Moravians in North Carolina to live close to each other in a village for mutual protection, continuing a communal economy far longer than at first intended. Overcrowded by refugees, the original settlement in Bethabara expanded to a second location in the Black Walnut Bottoms. In 1749, the British Parliament specifically recognized the Moravians as an honorable Episcopal Church, allowing them to continue their lives within the framework of the Anglican Church.

Abstract:
The Moravians carried their distinctive traditions into the 19th century, founding a mission for the Cherokee Indians, as well as a Female Mission Society to work closely among slaves. Although their traditions continued, changes occurred including the possession of slaves, and the annex of Wachovia lands into the county seat of Forsyth. This last change touched off an uproar in Salem, bringing the brethren into close contact with progressive influences.

As the community began to prosper, simple communal living was abandoned resulting in new forms of control for the spiritual and financial matters of the society. The Aeltesten Conferenz was responsible for the spiritual affairs of the congregation, while the Aufseher Collegium was established to look after the secular, or financial, affairs of the community.

Abstract:
Music was as much a part of the Moravians' religions life as prayer, and of all their traditions, music is one of the oldest and deepest seated. Several Moravians that came to America knew and worked with the leading musicians of the time. By 1746, the Moravians in Bethlehem were using an organ to accompany their singing.
