Abstract:
Smith reports on his broad research study of examining the life and contributions of Albion Tourgee, who was North Carolina's famous carpetbagger, lawyer, law maker, judge, civil rights activist, and novelist. He came to Greensboro in 1865, and following a remarkable career here, moved to Colorado in 1879. His name is attached to the Reconstruction Period in the state. Smith states that what has surprised him most about the man is the minimal attention paid to him by educators and historians.

Abstract:
BEFORE FREEDOM CAME is an exhibit originating at the Museum of the Confederacy in Richmond, VA in 1991, depicting African American life in the south before emancipation. Smith critiques a compact traveling version of the exhibit from the Smithsonian for how well it complements the other exhibits at an historic plantation site, the Mordecai House in Raleigh, NC, and for what it lacks with respect to a deeper economic and agricultural context to some of the exhibit pieces.

Abstract:
This article examines the research and academic feats of southern U.S. historian Ulrich Bonnell Phillips in the 1930s. Phillips' main period of study was the history of slavery and the antebellum period in the southern United States. He also studied the developments leading up to the secession of the South leading to the Civil War. Phillips possessed a close working relationship with the North Carolina State Literary and Historical Association which is also examined.
