Abstract:
After the US Department of Energy announced plans to build a nuclear waste depository in western North Carolina, residents quickly resisted the idea. Still mindful of accidents at Three Mile Island and Chernobyl, North Carolina residents cited potential economic loss, transportation danger and earthquake potential as reasons to not put a depository in the state. The Department of Energy backed off and instead created a nuclear waste site in Nevada.

Abstract:
The western part of North Carolina did not suffer any major military campaigns during the Civil War, though women faced many other difficulties including physical threats, attacks, social, economic, and political splintering of their communities, and the presence of Confederate deserters and Union sympathizers. Communities in the region strained under the pressure of the Confederate war machine, but women in western North Carolina fought to maintain their traditional lifestyle, undermining the Confederate struggle in the process.

Abstract:
This article discusses and examines Zebulon B. Vance, North Carolina's governor during the Civil War, and his defense for the state's secession and his own actions as governor. Vance's defense hinged on a reluctant North Carolina being pressured by outside forces and his own sense of duty that caused him to support the Confederacy. This line of reasoning boosted Vance into a successful political career.
