Abstract:

In 1945, Mary Price organized the Committee of North Carolina (CNC) of the Southern Conference from Human Welfare. The CNC was a liberal, mixed-gender organization that included Communist sympathizers but was not connected to the Communist Party USA. Under Price's leadership, the CNC became the core of the Progressive Party in North Carolina. Price's role in the CNC served as an example for the participation in liberal politics of women in North Carolina.

Abstract:

This article examines the role of Alexander Welch Reynold, commander of the North Carolina-Virginia Brigade, in the Battle at Missionary Ridge near Chattanooga, Tennessee, in November 1863 during the Civil War. The majority of historical research has considered Reynold's brigade as a leading cause of the Confederate defeat but additional official reports from the battle have cleared the brigade.

Abstract:

This article examines the role the 1st and 2nd North Carolina Union Volunteer Infantry regiments had during the Civil War. Composed of North Carolina citizens who were sympathetic to the Union cause, they were nicknamed 'Buffaloes' and were usually poor farmers who had no vested interest in slavery, opposed Confederate conscription or wanted to remain close to their families, as these units did not leave the state of North Carolina for deployment.
