Abstract:
In the 1896 gubernatorial race, black Republican voters were divided over the candidacy of Daniel L. Russell. Conservative black Republicans opposed Russell because of his wish of fusion with the Populist Party and detesting his public racial insults. Others favored fusion with the Populists as a means of avoiding Democratic dominance and the expected racial prejudice. A victorious Russell was brought about by good organizational tactics and a bulk of black voters brought over by Democratic anti-black campaign rhetoric.

At the time of revolution, African American totaled 25 percent of the state's overall population and of that only 5 percent were free. British enticed groups of slaves to revolt, yet some African Americans independently fought for the colonist; the most famous soldier was John Chavis.

Abstract:
Before the 1920s, most of the roads in North Carolina were dirt, and in wet weather, impassable. Enter Harriet Berry, graduate of the State Normal and Industrial College in Greensboro and staff member of the North Carolina State Geological and Economic Survey in 1901 and of the North Carolina Good Roads Association in 1902. She and state geologist Joseph Pratt worked relentlessly for two decades to bring the state good roads. While Pratt went off to war, Berry brought a road bill to the legislature. It was a bitter fight with much opposition, but Berry prevailed. State-funded roads became a reality.

This Tory group opposed a series of laws passed by the North Carolina congress and fought to dis-establish the Anglican Church, against the oath of allegiance to the new state government and the military draft. Several members were caught and tried but most were released.

Abstract:
An examination of the two week occupation and plundering of Beaufort by British troops that began on April 5, 1782, a full six months after Lord Cornwallis' surrender at Yorktown, to identify why the battle took place, what the purpose of the invasion was, and why coastal North Carolina was targeted so late in the Revolutionary War. Particular attention is given to the career of the mastermind of the attack, North Carolina loyalist John Cruden, the commissioner of sequestered estates for Lord Cornwallis, and his motives for attachment to the British cause.
