Abstract:
Construction of the main building at Peace College began in 1858, with a planned opening for classes in 1861. However, with the outbreak of the Civil War, education was suspended, and the structure served as a Confederate hospital until the end of the war. Union forces then used it for the Freedmen's Bureau until the college took over again.
Abstract:
Peace College, established in 1857 in Raleigh, had its inception in the ardent wish of outstanding Presbyterians to establish a high ranking educational institution for the education of young women.
