Abstract:
During the 1890s, some Americans assisted in Cuban rebels' insurrection against Spain by smuggling in military supplies. In 1895, Cuban insurgents tried to dispatch a filibustering expedition from Wilmington, North Carolina. The Cuban ship, 'Commodore' was impounded as several local and state politicians became involved in what turned into court proceedings. The ship was eventually released and did deliver military supplies to Cuban rebels.

Abstract:
Federalism in North Carolina between 1800 and 1816 had greater support than any other state in the South. North Carolina Federalists did not suffer from the same malapportionment, gerrymandering or partisan election laws that plagued other southern states. The party did fail to take advantage of several issues that would have increased their popularity among the populous such as judicial reform, legislator pay and taxation. Instead the Federalist Party remained disorganized and unfocused in their goals.

Abstract:
During the American Revolution, John Llewelyn led a group of loyalists against the North Carolina state government, both spiritually and militarily. This Tory group opposed a series of laws passed by the North Carolina congress and fought to dis-establish the Anglican Church, against the oath of allegiance to the new state government and the military draft. Several members were caught and tried but most were released.
