Abstract:
In 1766, opposition to the Stamp Act in North Carolina was met with weak police action in stamping out anti-British activity. Governor William Tryon was unable to effectively enforce the Stamp Act in the Wilmington area due to several acts of civil disobedience. Police often supported these conflicts or did not have the means to suppress them.

Abstract:
During its formative years following its founding, North Carolina lacked a evolved political, legal, and social structure. In this environment, women were able to assert themselves into the North Carolina legal system, unlike their contemporaries in Europe. Thus women, especially unmarried women, are quite visible in the legal records of colonial North Carolina. As the colony matured physically, economically, socially, and demographically from frontier to colony, the opportunities for women became less and less apparent.
