Abstract:
A county whose land is largely considered to be classified as forests, up to 70 percent, Caswell was, at one time, an industrial region that profited from slave labor through tobacco and cotton production. Although much of the region's wealth was broken up during emancipation, Caswell County is famous for the Slade tobacco curing method, the Kirk-Holden War, and for whiskey distilleries. Caswell County in the 20th century consists of colleges, medical centers, research centers, golf courses, factories, and shopping centers.
