Abstract:

Part eight in this series looks at post-Revolutionary War New Bern and how the revolution affected the town and its citizens. Specifically the author discusses the loss of early newspapers and also the declining educational system immediately following the war. An empty Tryon Palace was also further evidence of the town's declining stature following war and the loss of its title of state capital.
