Abstract:
An examination of the North Carolina Senate and Congressional representatives who served between 1917 and 1919. The delegation generally supported President Woodrow Wilson, but sometimes differed with him on issues such as wartime taxation, US bonds, women's suffrage, prohibition, and wartime civil liberties. During this period North Carolinians held two of the 23 principal chairmanships in the Senate and four of the eighteen in the House, as well as the post of House Majority Leader.
