Abstract:
In 1781, North Carolina was a year into an extensive civil war, lacking resources and unified government. On June 25th Dr. Thomas Burke was elected as the state's third governor after having served for four years as one of North Carolina's delegates to the Continental Congress. Unable to contend with the problems of civil war within the state, he resigned after only 10 months of service.
