Abstract:

In 1898, North Carolina and the United States stood on the edge of a new, modern age. Conflicts involving race and politics drew much notice, particularly the Cuban Revolution. After the destruction of USS MAINE, the United States declared war on Spain; many North Carolinians played a role in the fighting, coastal patrol duty, and produced a number of heroes throughout the Spanish-American War.
