Abstract:
In 1968, Richard Nixon reconciled with Republican and Democratic Dixiecrat segregationist led by Strom Thurmond and effectively ended the second Reconstruction of the 1950s and 1960s. To gain their support, Nixon promised to restrict federal support on desegregation and nominate Southern white conservatives to the Supreme Court. This exchange of political favors closely resembled the terms agreed to at Wormley's Hotel, in Washington D.C., that ended the first Reconstruction in 1877.

Abstract:
This article examines the life of North Carolinian Kenneth Rayner as one of the founders of the American Party, or Know-Nothings. Members of the American Party believed they needed to more than both major political parties at the time in order to save the United States from their corruption. Their main goals were opposition to immigration and Catholics, whom they regarded as anti-republican and easily swayed by demagogic politicians. Rayner recognized the threat posed by sectionalism and predicted that if the party failed, war would ravage the country. Rayner and the party's beliefs lack support, especially in the South and the party did not thrive.

Abstract:
In 1835, the North Carolina state legislature revised the state constitution to abolish the county basis for legislative representation. This allowed the legislature to review petitions for the formation of new counties without having to increase the number of General Assembly seats. Through this legislation, several new western counties were created, but by the 1850s this had stopped because of fears the sectional balance of the state would be disrupted.

Abstract:
From 1790-1815, Federalists and Jeffersonian Republicans were struggling for supremacy in national and state politics. North Carolina's majority population of individualistic farmers claimed to be firmly Republican, a fact which period elections reflected until the election of 1789 when the war with the French changed voting dynamics and the Federalists won congressional seats. This article looks at the elections held every year between 1803 and 1810 to examine how the Republicans regained the political ground lost in the 1789 election.
