Richards, Leonard L.

Abstract:

The author uses farmers in the Cape Fear Valley to support conclusions of historian Manning J. Dauer, who analyzed the presidential election of 1796. This article looks at the connection between wealthy farmers in the area and their support of Federalism. Looking at this region and its demographics, the author compares Dauer's conclusions about Federalists and the Republican loss in the 1796 presidential election.
