Abstract:

Indian troubles obliged Moravians in North Carolina to live close to each other in a village for mutual protection, continuing a communal economy far longer than at first intended. Overcrowded by refugees, the original settlement in Bethabara expanded to a second location in the Black Walnut Bottoms. In 1749, the British Parliament specifically recognized the Moravians as an honorable Episcopal Church, allowing them to continue their lives within the framework of the Anglican Church.
