Abstract:
This article examines the daily life of students at the Hillsborough Military Academy prior to and during the Civil War. The academy was created in 1859, as a place for young men to prepare themselves to serve in the United States military. After North Carolina seceded in 1861, Hillsborough Military Academy was one of the state's institutions that trained soldiers for the Confederate military and over 200 Hillsborough cadets fought for the Confederacy. The war led to the closing of the academy in 1865 and subsequent attempts to reopen after the war were unsuccessful.

Abstract:
This article examines failed attempts by North Carolina antebellum schoolbook publishers to convince public schools of the need for textbooks that had a Southern point of view. Calvin Henderson Wiley, North Carolina's state superintendent of common schools from 1853 to 1865, was a leading voice on this subject and wrote the 'North Carolina Reader' from a Southern point of view. The book did not sell well because of the under developed book distribution network of the South and the extra cost special textbooks required.

Abstract:
This article examines the role the colony of North Carolina had in the Seven Years' War. The colony legislature was not very helpful, providing only small amounts of money and 300 soldiers to help defend Fort Duquesne from a French assault in 1757. Militia from western North Carolina was involved in fending of Indian attacks in the western part of the state between 1760 and 1761.
