Abstract:
In 1766, opposition to the Stamp Act in North Carolina was met with weak police action in stamping out anti-British activity. Governor William Tryon was unable to effectively enforce the Stamp Act in the Wilmington area due to several acts of civil disobedience. Police often supported these conflicts or did not have the means to suppress them.

Abstract:
Elias Carr was a renaissance man in North Carolina during the 19th century in which he was a prosperous planter, agricultural political leader, democrat and Governor of North Carolina. During this period, he also kept an estate in Edgecombe County, Bracebridge Hall, which maintained a flourishing environment before and after the Civil War. Carr was able to maintain this prosperity by avoiding common pitfalls of the time such as one-crop farming, sharecropping, labor unrest, and financial failure by diversifying his farming operations, paying employed workers good wages, partaking in fair labor practices and using modern farming techniques.

Abstract:
Famous Boston zoologist William Brewster visited the North Carolina highlands around Asheville for two weeks in 1885 to search for lost bird species and for evidence of which northern birds might nest in the southern mountains. During his expedition, Brewster proved that over 20 northern species nested in the southern Appalachian Mountains during nesting season based primarily on the presence of certain trees and forest types.
