This article looks at the impact of a temporary department of North Carolina, enacted by Union Secretary of War Stanton, which was created to facilitate federal operations in the Carolinas and was run by Maj. Gen. John M. Schofield and subject to General William T. Sherman's orders. This department continued beyond the short period for which it was designed and left Schofield in charge of troops in North Carolina and then in charge of the transition to reconstruction, thus affecting how the machinery for reconstruction-era judiciary was to be established.

Abstract:
It is a common thought that after the Civil War, Southern railroads could not have been repaired to working condition without the help of the Union Army. The railroads of North Carolina needed only minor repairs to assist in a temporary military occupation. Within six months after the conflict, the Army conducted no maintenance work at all and left the rails in worse condition that when they found them.

Abstract:
North Carolinian Charles Force Deems spent the year immediately after the Civil War in New York, publishing a weekly newspaper which was intended to close the rift between the North and the South. Deems moved north after hostilities ended and began publishing 'The Watchman,' which featured stories and information on contemporary politics, literature, religion, agriculture, and business. The paper was slanted towards a southern view, while advertising and subscriptions reflected that intent. Due to financial problems caused by lack of support and bad timing, the paper folded on January 5th, 1867.

Abstract:
During the first years of the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln believed he could quickly end the war, restore the Union, and reorganize Southern governments. Between 1861 and 1863, Lincoln believed he could restrain Republican antislavery sentiment and rely on Southern Unionism to end the war. While inadequately studied by current historians, Lincoln's controversial and failed reconstruction plan for North Carolina in 1862-1863 demonstrated that he no longer believed a quick restoration of order in the South was likely.

Abstract:
In 1870, members of the Ku Klux Klan murdered Wyatt Outlaw, an African-American town commissioner in Alamance County. The incident eventually led to the impeachment of Govern William Woods Holden over his handling of the situation. Outlaw was allegedly the son of a slave woman and Chesley Farrar Faucett, a rich white landowner. Outlaw was also a skilled craftsman, respected leader of the local community, a Union veteran and a politician. His murder was seen as a large setback for Reconstruction in North Carolina.
