Abstract:
William Miller became Governor of North Carolina toward the end of the War of 1812. Like a number of his predecessors, he was a strong supporter of public education and fought the legislature for funding during his three years as governor. He also advocated better roads, commercial canals, and river improvements, but the Legislature was hesitant to expend funds, but did provide for some minor stream improvements.
