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.

Abstract:

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.
