Abstract:
In colonial North Carolina, road building and militia service laws were a product of a highly divided class system. Wealthy landowners and slave-owners comprised the governmental bodies that decided when roads were built, where they went as well as whom would be exempt from militia and road service duties. Slaves and members of the lower economic classes were required to at least 12 days per year on road service and whites were also required to spend additional time with the militia. These duties often placed a larger economic burden on members of the lower classes.
