Abstract:
The idea of free public schools found favor with North Carolina legislators as early as the eighteenth century. Ordered by the Colonial General Assembly in May of 1760 during the administration of Royal Governor Arthur Dobbs in address to King George II, free public schools had a sympathetic interest early in North Carolina's history.
