David, Archie K.

Abstract:

This article discusses the Carolinian concern for humility, which the author finds to be a product of the past. The author cites a 1904 report on the greatness of the state that has produced three Presidents of the United States. He also lists the many historical achievements of the state and boasts that no state can compare when it comes to commanding the loyalty of its citizens, either individual or corporate.
