Abstract:
Changes in the nature of the Salem Moravian ruling theology, from 'gemeinschaft' to 'gesellschaft', can be viewed in the context of rising dissent on military involvement, relationships between the sexes, and the rise of economic individualism. Between 1820 and 1850, Moravians in Salem were forced to permit residents to join the militia, ease the strict rules regarding courting and marriage, abandon the community landholding system, and allow residents to engage in the slave trade.

Abstract:
In 1753, the Moravian Brethren purchased 100,000 acres of land in North Carolina for Church settlement. Members could buy a 2,000 acre lot in one of the land tracts and settle the area; the entire community became known as Wachovia. The contracts for each lot are preserved in German archives. A map of the tracts is included in the article with additional information on the owners through 1767.
