Abstract:
Since Reconstruction days, no Republican presidential candidate had carried a Southern state. President Theodore Roosevelt, one of the nation's most popular presidents, was invited to make an address in Raleigh on October 19, 1905. Roosevelt thought his personal popularity and the fact that his mother was from Georgia might help in future elections. Lawing recounts the events of Roosevelt's visit to Raleigh and Durham.

Abstract:
The end of the Civil War and its effect on Raleigh is explored. Both Confederate and Union troops took any and all livestock, goods, and material they could find during the last three weeks of the war. The Confederate troops were ordered to do this to prevent Gen. William T. Sherman’s troop from using the supplies. The physical evidence left by the war that is still visible in Raleigh and sites of major significance in Raleigh during the war are also described.

Abstract:
Streetcars were an important part of North Carolina towns during the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries. Originally, mules and horses pulled these cars, but in 1889, Asheville opened the first electric streetcar system in the state. Charlotte and Raleigh followed, and the streetcar allowed such cities to expand and establish suburban neighborhoods. By the 1930s, automobiles and buses replaced the streetcar, but today the system has been revived in the form of Charlotte's CityLYNX Gold Line, which runs three replica trolleys on a 1.5-mile track.
