Abstract:

During the first years of the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln believed he could quickly end the war, restore the Union, and reorganize Southern governments. Between 1861 and 1863, Lincoln believed he could restrain Republican antislavery sentiment and rely on Southern Unionism to end the war. While inadequately studied by current historians, Lincoln's controversial and failed reconstruction plan for North Carolina in 1862-1863 demonstrated that he no longer believed a quick restoration of order in the South was likely.

Abstract:

During the Civil War, North Carolina publishing company Sterling, Campbell, and Albright took advantage of the isolation from Northern companies to publish pro-Southern textbooks and propaganda. At the urging of Southern educators, the company published textbooks that emphasized and exalted Southern history, cultural institutions, and cultural values. This ended after the war as Southern publishing could not compete with Northern competition.

Abstract:

In this 16th century memorandum, Spanish explorer Vicente Gonzalez gives a Spanish perspective on the colonization strategy of the middle latitudes of North America. Numerous scholars have presumed Gonzalez wrote the memorandum in 1588 after he discovered evidence of an English colony on Roanoke Island. A review of Gonzalez's career indicates that the memorandum was written in 1586 and summarizes his voyages and discoveries of 1582. The memorandum in question in fact led in part to Gonzalez's 1588 explorations. The memorandum indicates a miscalculation, on part of the Spanish, towards the profitability of establishing colonies in modern day Virginia and the Carolinas.
