Abstract:
William Hodge Kitchin was a former Civil War veteran and a member of the Democratic Party who pushed for radical changes within North Carolina's social structure during Reconstruction. By the late 1880s, he broke with the Democrats and joined the Populist Party movement where he had a better opportunity for leadership and influence. While with the Populist Part, Kitchin advocated to preserve conservative principles, a mixture of white conservatism and opportunism.

Abstract:
This article looks at the shift of social and moral imperatives in the South in the early 18th century that changed the attitudes towards slavery from condemnation to justification and acceptance. The political impact of this change is seen in the geographic shift of the popularity of Jeffersonian politics, which were generally unfavorable to slavery, from the South to the anti-slavery North. The article further contends that Southern Jeffersonianism was replaced with a new set of pro-slavery ideals and values first promoted by John C. Calhoun and that came to be known as Calhounism.

Abstract:
During the Presidential election of 1856, North Carolina Republican Benjamin Sherwood Hedrick was the focus of a political witch hunt by North Carolina Democratic leadership, particularly newspaper editors. A professor of agricultural chemistry at the University of North Carolina, Hendricks supported Republican John C. Fremont in his bid for the Presidency which in North Carolina was tantamount to abolitionism. Hedrick publically opposed slavery itself and its use in the territories but defended its practice in the South. Unacceptable to Democratic leadership in North Carolina, Hedrick was dismissed from his academic position for political agitation.
