Abstract:
This article examines the political landscape of the Lower Cape Fear region of colonial North Carolina, comparing it to the rest of the colony. The Lower Cape Fear region developed quite distinctly from nearby regions as it contained a stable and wealthy ruling class and a large, unruly slave population. The differences between the Lower Cape Fear region and the rest of the colony emphasize the problem with generalizing North Carolina's political environment.

Abstract:
This article examines the 1936 execution of Allen Foster, the first inmate in North Carolina to die in the gas chamber. Previously, the state had used electrocution for capital punishment but the press reported negatively on the practice while churches and other groups asked for a different method. Foster's execution and several following executions did not go well, and there was another public clamor against the use of gas. While the debate continued, North Carolina used both methods for many years. Lethal use of gas was not legally ended in North Carolina until 1999.
