Abstract:

This article examines the North Carolina government's attempts to improve economic condition of the state during the Antebellum Period. North Carolina was very dependent on its neighboring states for economic support following the American Revolution. On the suggestion of several North Carolina governors, the General Assembly sponsored programs to improve the condition of the state's roads, railways, and waterways.
