Abstract:
In July 1863, Union Brigadier General Edward E. Potter raided the towns of Greenville, Rocky Mount, and Tarboro, North Carolina. This article looks at the planning, execution, and fallout from such small actions, which historians have lauded for their importance in weakening the Confederacy's ability to conduct war through psychological and tactical efforts.

Abstract:
After the Civil War, the attitudes and behavior among elite white North Carolina women regarding work changed significantly depending on the age of the woman in question. Women born before 1820 changed the least as they clung to the tradition of needing servants and continued the same household managerial style as before the war. The next group of women, born between 1820 and 1845, had been young wives and mothers during the Civil War and had greater flexibility towards household work. The third group that grew up during the war and post-war Reconstruction, accepted domestic duties and expanded the range of employment, especially into teaching.

Abstract:
In the 1780s, strife broke out between Whig lawyers attempting to establish a uniform national legal system and backcountry farmers who had no desire for standardized law and saw Whig actions as self-serving. These two groups fought for control of North Carolina's judicial system, thinking that whoever controlled the judicial branch could interpret and apply the law how they saw fit. Whig lawyers also hoped to restore law and their own power by supporting a national constitution.
