Abstract:

As part of Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal program, the Social Security Act (1935) included provisions for unemployment insurance compensation to workers based on state compliance by January 1, 1936. Because of the law's timing, Governor J.C.B. Ehringhaus was forced to call a special session in December 1937, despite his political and financial opposition to doing so.

Abstract:

Moravian Falls, NC's place as a hotbed for journalism in the late 19th and early 20th century is explored. The Fool-Killer, the Lash, and the Yellow Jacket were all periodicals that appealed to a wide readership and prove that the South was anything but a static intellectual environment in the 20th century. The understanding of southern journalism these publications from Wilkes County provide is explored.

Abstract:

The Group A influenza pandemic that affected the entire world in 1918-1919, killed roughly 13,000 people in the state of North Carolina alone. This event exposed the deficiencies of North Carolina's public health system and motivated the creation of a more effective network of public health agencies by the mid-1920s under the direction of Dr. Watson Smith Rankin. This movement was supported by increased public funding and established support for a permanent public health system.

Abstract:

This article looks at civil rights activist Floyd B. McKissick and his efforts to establish Soul City in rural Warren County, North Carolina in 1973. Soul City was an interracial community and the first new town planned by a minority developer. Soul City's remoteness made it difficult to attract residents, business, and industry though and the town was foreclosed by the Department of Housing and Urban Development in 1979.

Censer, Jane Turner

Abstract:

After the Civil War, the attitudes and behavior among elite white North Carolina women regarding work changed significantly depending on the age of the woman in question. Women born before 1820 changed the least as they clung to the tradition of needing servants and continued the same household managerial style as before the war. The next group of women, born between 1820 and 1845, had been young wives and mothers during the Civil War and had greater flexibility towards household work. The third group that grew up during the war and post-war Reconstruction, accepted domestic duties and expanded the range of employment, especially into teaching.

Watson, Alan D.

Abstract:

In desperate need of people, English North American colonies transported men and women to help settle the continent through bound labor, or indentured servitude. Far more numerous than slaves before 1700, nearly half of the immigrants to America until the American Revolution were indentured servants. Indentured servitude did not occupy the same position in the Albemarle Region of North Carolina as it did in Virginia given the geographic isolation and the enslavement of Native American populations.
