Abstract:
The fragment of text recovered told a shard of the story about the Golden Age of Piracy. More of this story can be found in aspects explored such as ships associated with Captain Woodes Rogers, his South Sea voyages, books on Queen Anne’s Revenge, and further historical research about Blackbeard’s flagship.

Rohrs, Richard C.
Abstract:
The outcomes of this case were a mixed blessing. Concerns over the growing free black population and criticism from the North about slavery prompted the erosion of legal rights in North Carolina for blacks free from a legal, but not social, standpoint. It also proved there were white North Carolinians committed to continuing legal rights for free blacks, bettering the treatment of enslaved blacks, and enlisting their aid in preventing slave rebellions.

Perko, Gary V.
Abstract:
The claim for ownership of a mountain was waged for over a century and involved locals, state and federal authorities, and private interest groups. Officially, much of the land around Mount Mitchell currently belongs to the government. Continuing conservation efforts suggest, though, that ownership, as defined by a sense of responsibility, is still the province of the public.

Huegel, Casey
Abstract:
The Outer Banks’ association with aircraft can also be attributed to David Driskill. In fact, from his ferrying of provisions, parcels, pay, and people, he became synonymous with flight for generations of locals. Acknowledgment of his two decades’ plus of service is attested in an article from another local famed figure, Aycock Brown, and a monument, erected after his death in a plane crash in 1952.

Waters, Darin J.
Abstract:
A coalition of local African American leaders and George Vanderbilt’s philanthropic support yielded Asheville’s Young Men’s Institute. The nonsectarian school offered educational and cultural opportunities for Western North Carolina African American communities. Its two-fold mission was to open the door for personal advancement in society and help dispel racist attitudes that often kept this door closed for African Americans.

Adler, Jonathan
Abstract:
This company’s 1955 advertisements and series of articles published by Lorillard in Carolina Times suggested African Americans had the same opportunities for advancement as other races in the United States. It wasn’t until the opening of a new plant in Greensboro the following year that the truth dismissed in both media items started to come to light. It was by examining the experiences of African American workers in this plant between 1956-1970, plus the history of their involvement in the tobacco industry, the author reveals further the truth about the challenges African Americans faced on the job and in society.

Abstract:
Helms’ embrace of Israel in 1985 was a dramatic departure from his prior lack of support of Israel. Given his considerable influence in North Carolina’s Republican party, Helms’ about face made a powerful impact in the direction that modern conservative, right wing movement was to travel. Explained by the author were the reasons for Helms’ favoring a nation he had opposed giving support to since the 1970s.

Howard, Thomas L.
Abstract:
The fight for ratification of the Constitution in North Carolina deserves more attention for the way it fits into the larger picture of the founding era. The views of the Federalists and Antifederalists are presented, as well as how the debate initiated the socialization of politics in the state. Rejecting the Constitution allowed North Carolina to push for the introduction and adoption of a bill of rights and protect their interests. The debate around the ratification of the Constitution in the state is detailed along with its importance in July 1788.

Silva, Kathryn M.
Abstract:
North Carolina’s Durham Hosiery Mills were among the first to use black labor in the southern textile industry. Black women who worked for the Durham Hosiery Mills as skilled workers blazed a trail for later African American workers who battled racist and sexist practices in the twentieth century. The history of African American millhands, their hiring, and the motivations of millowners for hiring them are detailed.

Browning, Andrew H.
Abstract:
Richard Dobbs Spaight’s education in Ireland strongly influenced his political and philosophical beliefs which would have an effect on America’s independence from Great Britian. Being orphaned, the future North Carolina governor and signer of the Constitution was sent to Ireland for his education where the Irish were sympathetic of the developing American cause. Spaight’s time in Ireland and at the University of Glasgow prepared him to be a Revolutionary Patriot and an ally of James Madison and the Federalists at the Constitutional Convention.
