Abstract:

The Moravian settlement in Wachovia brought many advancements to the then \"untamed\" western portion of North Carolina during the colonial period. The first group of Moravian Brethren, fifteen men between the ages of 28-40, arrived in Wachovia on November 17, 1753. From this humble beginning, a larger Moravian community thrived - bringing schools, medicine, and churches to this otherwise unsettled part of the state.

Boyd, William K.

Abstract:

From the close of the American Revolution to the ratification of the United States Constitution there was a deep and increasing conviction among a considerable portion of North Carolinians that certain fundamental rights, based on the law of nature and guaranteed by various charters and statutes of England, were violated and jeopardized. This is the subject of the pamphlet anonymously published in the summer of 1787 under the title, "The Independent Citizen."

Abstract:

The Farmers' Union, formally known as the Farmers' Educational and Cooperative Union of America, was predated by two other national organizations; the Grange and Farmers' Alliance. Though this organization never met memberships as large as the other two, it had its largest membership in North Carolina after its introduction to the state in 1905. This organization focused on improved education and legislation to benefit the state's farmers.
