Greene, Jack P.

Abstract:

Within the American colonial political structure, the elected lower houses of the assembly saw a rise in political power in the years before independence. Their ability to nominate and appoint public treasurers to collect, hold, and apply moneys from provincial revenues, and then control these officials, gave the lower houses a level of financial authority that encroached on executive power.

Massey, Mary Elizabeth

Abstract:

The Civil War brought displacement to many residents of the South, though North Carolina did experience as large or continuing displacement of its citizens as other states, nor did it receive a great influx of refugees despite its provision and sporadic unionist infiltration. Reasons for this may be that refugees did not know that North Carolina was a safe haven, the state's geography made movement difficult, and a prejudice against North Carolina's people by citizens of other states. The activities and movements of urban and suburban homeless and displaced persons in specific areas are detailed.
