Abstract:

Calvin H. Wiley was the Superintendent of Common Schools from 1852 to 1865 in North Carolina. Though a slave owner, Wiley held more sympathetic views towards African Americans. By analyzing Wiley's portrayal of African Americans in two of his novels, \"Alamance\" and \"Roanoke,\" the author evaluates Wiley's perspective on slavery and how this differed from his peers.
