Abstract:
In a 1913 publication, Dr. Charles Beard proposed that the ratification of the United States constitution marked a class division in support of this document with wealthy property owners at the forefront of creating and approving the document while poorer citizens and the working-class were not represented fairly in constitutional debates. To analyze this thesis, the author of this piece compares Beard's findings against the historic data from North Carolina's Hillsboro Convention to look at the economic interests of the state's Federalists.

Abstract:
Salem was founded by the Moravians, an austere religious organization, who believed in peace rather than bearing arms. Prior to the American Civil War, the town and its community made some exceptions to its rules, and a militia was formed and sent into battle. The church also lost influence over the town as more non-Moravians were permitted to settle in Salem, changing community dynamics. The author looks at how the excesses of antebellum Salem and hardships of war changed the once rigidly religious community during the mid-19th century.

Abstract:
The article looks at changing academic standards for the women admitted to Salem College. Beginning in 1854 with the first official catalogue, the author traces curriculum changes to 1909 largely through the changing administration. A major trend during this 55 year span was the modernization of the school curriculum by comparison to other similar institutions, a shift from the insular, self-dictated agenda of students in 1854.
