Abstract:
This is the second article in a series on Revolutionary period economic conditions in North Carolina. This installment focuses on those who owned town lots as opposed to those who owned and worked tracts of land for natural resources, as were discussed in the previous article from April 1939, Vol. 16(2), pp. 107-133. The article contains a number of tables and maps that address slave-holding, town lot ownership, free and slave population statistics, and cattle owner statistics.
