Abstract:

Despite romantic portrayals that Confederate soldiers were led by Southern loyalties, desertion was a major issue for the Rebel leaders. Compiling historical data, the author estimates that at best desertion rates were at 27 percent and 51 percent at worse by the end of 1864. Drawing on newspaper accounts, previous historical research, and personal correspondence the author looks at which of the state's regiments were most affected by desertion and soldiers' motivations.

Josiah W. Bailey and Angus Wilton McLean vied with each other for the Democratic nomination in the 1924 gubernatorial election. Fifty-one year old Bailey was defeated by McLean but his campaign is still significant in shaping his future political endeavors.

Abstract:

The state militia began with a charter in 1663 allowing the eight Lords Proprietors of Carolina to enlist and train a force for the defensive purposes. Militia was to defend early North Carolinians from Native Americans, pirates along the coast, and England's European foes, especially the Spanish. From this initial act the author describes the history of the state's militia, statistics concerning recruitment, and the legislative measures to both form and maintain the state's defensive force through the 18th century.

Abstract:

Educational reform was a major component of early 20th century Democratic political campaigns with men like Governor Charles B. Aycock leading the way. Working with Aycock, Charles McIver was a crucial figure in developing legislature to include education for African Americans despite popular opinion of the time. McIver was president of the Industrial College in Greensboro and believed in education for African Americans if not completely equal education. These opinions are expressed in a series of letters between himself and his political allies which are reprinted in this article.

This article looks at Brigadier General and Brevet Major General E.R.S. Canby's role as commander of the second of five military districts that made up the former Confederate states during the period of Reconstruction, as well as the reaction to his command by the people of that district. Appointed by the U.S. Attorney General to replace Major General Daniel E.

Abstract:

This article examines three letters written to Theodore Bryant Kingsbury, journalist and editor of the Leisure Hour by the editor of Russell's Magazine, Paul Hamilton Hayne. Hayne was one of two editors who had written particularly pleasing reviews of Kingsbury's work, and a long correspondence between Hayne and Kingsbury began as a result. Most of the letters were lost in a fire at Hayne's home during the Charleston bombardment in the Civil War, but the three surviving letters are reprinted here in full as well as some poems by Kingsbury and reviews penned by Hayne.

Zornow, William Frank

Abstract:

This article attempts to contradict previous historical scholarship on the efficacy of the Articles of Confederation's tariff policies with a particular focus on North Carolina between 1775 and 1789. Historians had long focused on conflicts among state tariff policies during this period perpetuating a myth that condemned the tariff system. Expounding on some ideas that had been put forth by his contemporaries, Zornow favors an examination of the similarities between state tariff systems rather than emphasizing the differences and, using that perspective, has here set out to discover to what extent North Carolina's system has deviated from the national norm.

This article looks at early 19th century African-American educator, school founder, and preacher John Chavis. Although his work as a missionary on behalf of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church between 1801 and 1807 is most commonly known to have chiefly involved slaves in the upper South, Chavis actually preached to far more Caucasion people than he did to the African American and enslaved population. A detailed account of his mission work is provided.
