Abstract:
Slaves and maroon communities were perceived as a threat to white property in Eastern North Carolina during the antebellum era. While slaves did have legal access to firearms during the colonial period, this access was revoked following the 1831 Nat Turner Rebellion in Virginia. This article discusses the use of black firearm laws as a means of protecting white property and mitigating the perceived black threat.

Abstract:
Playing as influential a role as many better-known Civil Rights Movement leaders, Bennett’s president inspired its students to fight for social justice. She encouraged students to participate in protests, inspired by the 1960 Woolworth’s sit in, and initiate blacks to become more politically involved, by registering to vote.

Credited with coining the term genocide, Lemkin also receives credit for participating in the adoption of international human rights law. Nazi atrocities upon Jews inspired Lemkin's efforts, which continued during his tenure as a Duke University political science lecturer and law student.

Abstract:
The contributions of ministers’ wives have traditionally been downplayed by historians. Acknowledging Anna Burwell’s efforts as a minister’s wife include crediting her fulfillment of gender role duties while operating a girls’ academy to help her husband support their family.

Abstract:
Asheville’s Jewish community, long objects of prejudice, became a group tolerated by representatives of the city’s elite. It happened chiefly by their association with Zebulon Vance, being viewed as superior to African Americans, and efforts to memorialize Vance initiated by influential Jews such as Solomon Lipinsky.

Abstract:
The politics of school funding during this time involved many contenting forces: black versus white; rural versus urban; six month school year versus nine; special and charter districts versus city and county. Legislation proposed included a luxury tax, the MacLean Bill, and a revenue bill. While not considered by some the fairest solution, the 1933 school bill that generated a sales tax, state control over the school system, and a uniform eight month school year was declared the sanest.

Abstract:
The First Colony Foundation’s efforts have yielded the recognition of its lesser known figures. Stafford’s contributions to European exploration included helping to lead the 1585 expedition and establish the Roanoke colony. Related to his identity is the author’s examination of several Stafford families possibly including him. Speculations of Stafford’s importance in permanent European settlements, had his life not been cut short, include involvement in Jamestown.

Abstract:
A freedom offered to slaves perhaps lesser known than the Emancipation Proclamation is religious expression. Contraband camps, established by Union troops for former slaves, provided a way for former slaves to openly express Christian faith. Along with African American religious leaders such as James Walker Hood, they helped establish the African Methodist Episcopal Zion church. As for churches such as AMEZ, they also provided a sanctuary from racism and sowing ground for the seeds of political representation.

Abstract:
The author explores explanations for Barnwell’s failure and Moore’s success. La Vere partly attributes it to the pine used to construct forts. Of the two, Moore was able to more effectively exploit the use of wood vulnerable to fire. As for Barnwell, insufficient provisions for his troops and fractious relations with Colonial government leaders also contributed to his lack of victory.

Abstract:
The Civil Rights movement’s seeds were planted decades earlier and in historically black colleges such as Bennett. Here, Bennett Belles were inspired by campus leaders like David Dallas Jones as much as nationwide leaders like Vernon Johns. Education and race consciousness fortified them to help instill equality through campus and community activism.

Abstract:
The outcomes of this case were a mixed blessing. Concerns over the growing free black population and criticism from the North about slavery prompted the erosion of legal rights in North Carolina for blacks free from a legal, but not social, standpoint. It also proved there were white North Carolinians committed to continuing legal rights for free blacks, bettering the treatment of enslaved blacks, and enlisting their aid in preventing slave rebellions.
