Abstract:
In the colonial era, wit and humor was often the spontaneous product of active social discourse and usually were passed around as handwritten manuscripts through social classes. The wit and humor of the Lower Cape Fear originated as a way of communicating private and social pleasure throughout the region. Wilmington native Johnson Jones Hooper, a local humorist, was the first to transition from British style satire to the original American humor that would make him famous.

Abstract:
North Carolinian Mary Bayard Clarke was an avid writer who published several poems and wrote editorial columns for North Carolina newspapers before the American Civil War. After the fall of Fort Fischer, Clarke was in Raleigh when General Sherman and his troops captured and occupied the city. Instead of fleeing, Clarke stayed in Raleigh and wrote many articles regarding the occupation of Raleigh for the New York serial The Old Guard. During the course of her research for the articles, Clarke had to interact much with the Union army and its soldiers. This interaction with enemy troops led to her estrangement with her sister and ostracized Clarke from several social circles.

Abstract:
After the publication of Harriet Beecher Stowe's 1852 novel Uncle Tom's Cabin, several novels were written in response to highlight the pros and cons of slavery. One of the novels to tout the propaganda of slavery in the South, The Planter's Northern Bride, was written by Caroline Lee Hentz. Hentz was born a Northerner but lived in the South for nearly 30 years and adopted it as her home. Harriet Ann Jacobs wrote an anti-slavery book in 1861 which documented her experiences as a slave. Her autobiographical slave narrative, Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, was originally meant to be appropriated for Stowe's next book. Jacobs was offended by this proposal and declared she would write her story herself.

Abstract:
During the Great Depression, the Federal Writers' Project employed thousands of writers, editors, researchers and clerical workers to document and record the memories and impressions of American communities, with an emphasized voice given to the worker class. Of particular interest among the thousands of interviews were the personal narratives of Southern lay midwives. Their stories reflect a rich legacy of folk belief as well as their perspective on stresses within and from without their communities.
