Abstract:
This article examines the migration of Moravian families from the northeast United States, into Wachovia settlements in North Carolina during the mid-18th century. This movement stemmed from a desire for more land but also from the importance of religion and common places of worship. Settlement in North Carolina was accompanied by settlement from European immigrants and other Moravian settlements in America.

Abstract:
This article examines the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) and the scandal that surrounded it after it awarded a fellowship to Hans Freistat in 1948. Freistat, an Austrian doctoral student and teaching assistant in physics at the University of North Carolina, was also a member of the Communist Party. After he was awarded the fellowship, North Carolina senator Clyde R. Hoey called for a congressional investigation into the AEC's methodology of awarding fellowships. During the investigation and after, Freistat lost both the fellowship and his teaching position, Congress instituted tougher background checks into fellowship candidates, and AEC chairman David E. Lilienthal resigned.
