Abstract:
Part V in this series concerning New Bern and all of Craven County looks at the political and commercial significance of the area during this period. Specifically, the author examines the years between 1740 and 1765 when New Bern became a central town because of settlement moving further south towards Wilmington.

The unexpected was his surprise that the war continued, given the rules implemented by the times: short term enlistments, officers’ elections by their troops, and recruitment provisions such as apples and cigars.
