Abstract:
This article concentrates on the efforts made to improve the navigability of watercourses - rivers and streams - within the state in the years between the American Revolution and the Civil War. Additional attention is given to the role of government, particularly that of the state of North Carolina, as a political force that energized improvements for the benefit of the people first through the \"quasi-public corporation\" system of encouraging private corporations to undertake navigation improvements, and then eventually moving to direct investment in corporate enterprises while assuming responsibility for supervising the more important navigation projects.
