    Governors’ Papers Henry T. Clark Page One GOVERNOR HENRY T. CLARK, n.d., 1861-1862 Arrangement: By record series, then chronological Reprocessed by: James Mark Valsame Date: May 26, 2005 Henry Toole Clark (February 7, 1808-April 14, 1874), lawyer, politician, and governor of North Carolina, was born on his father's plantation on Walnut Creek near Tarboro. His father, James West Clark, son of Christopher and Hannah Turner Clark, was a Princeton graduate (1796). He represented Bertie County in the North Carolina House of Commons in 1802-3 and in 1810-11 represented Edgecombe in the house, while his brother-in-law. Henry Irwin Toole, Jr., was state senator from the same county. From 1812 to 1815, James W. Clark represented Edgecombe in the state senate; then he served a single term in Congress (1815-17). He later served as chief clerk in the Navy Department (1829-31) under Secretary of the Navy John Branch, a close friend. James dark's wife, Arabella Toole Clark, was a daughter of Henry Irwin and Elizabeth Haywood Toole, prominent Edgecombe citizens. Henry T. Clark began his education at George Phillips's school in Tarboro and later entered a school in Louisburg. In 1822 he enrolled in The University of North Carolina, being graduated with the class of 1826. He studied law under a relative, William Henry Haywood, Jr., who later (1843-46) served in the U.S. Senate. Although his father joined the Whig party after Branch's resignation from President Andrew Jackson's cabinet, young Henry, influenced by his Haywood cousins, temporarily remained a Democrat.

  • Did You Know? North Carolina
    Did You Know? North Carolina Discover the history, geography, and government of North Carolina. The Land and Its People The state is divided into three distinct topographical regions: the Coastal Plain, the Piedmont Plateau, and the Appalachian Mountains. The Coastal Plain affords opportunities for farming, fishing, recreation, and manufacturing. The leading crops of this area are bright-leaf tobacco, peanuts, soybeans, and sweet potatoes. Large forested areas, mostly pine, support pulp manufacturing and other forest-related industries. Commercial and sport fishing are done extensively on the coast, and thousands of tourists visit the state’s many beaches. The mainland coast is protected by a slender chain of islands known as the Outer Banks. The Appalachian Mountains—including Mount Mitchell, the highest peak in eastern America (6,684 feet)—add to the variety that is apparent in the state’s topography. More than 200 mountains rise 5,000 feet or more. In this area, widely acclaimed for its beauty, tourism is an outstanding business. The valleys and some of the hillsides serve as small farms and apple orchards; and here and there are business enterprises, ranging from small craft shops to large paper and textile manufacturing plants. The Piedmont Plateau, though dotted with many small rolling farms, is primarily a manufacturing area in which the chief industries are furniture, tobacco, and textiles. Here are located North Carolina’s five largest cities. In the southeastern section of the Piedmont—known as the Sandhills, where peaches grow in abundance—is a winter resort area known also for its nationally famous golf courses and stables.

  • ABSTRACT POTEAT, R. MATTHEW. “To the Last
    ABSTRACT POTEAT, R. MATTHEW. “To the Last Man and the Last Dollar”: Governor Henry Toole Clark and Civil War North Carolina, July 1861 to September 1862. (Under the direction of Dr. Nancy Mitchell, with Joe A. Mobley, Co-Chair) This thesis examines the life and political career of Henry Toole Clark, the second of North Carolina’s three Civil War governors. Clark served one term as the state’s chief executive from July 1861 to September 1862, a crucial period in which North Carolina established itself as a constituent member of the Confederate States and first suffered the hardships of war. As the leader of the state in that formative period, he mobilized thousands of troops for the Southern cause, established the first, and only, Confederate prison in North Carolina, arranged the production of salt for the war effort, created European purchasing connections, and built a successful and important gunpowder mill. Clark, however, found more success as an administrator than as a political figure. The Edgecombe County planter devoted over twenty years to the service of the Democratic Party at the local, state, and national levels, and over ten years as a state senator. As governor, he was unable to maneuver in the new political world ushered in by the Civil War, and he retired abruptly from public service at the end of his term. Clark’s life and career offer insight into the larger world of the antebellum planter-politician, that dominant group of southern leaders who led the region into dependence upon slavery and, ultimately, to war. Though the planter class was diverted from power for a brief time during Reconstruction, the political and racial ideology of that class would shape conservative white southern thought for the next hundred years.

  • Governors' Papers
    Governors’ Papers Edward B. Dudley Page One GOVERNOR EDWARD B. DUDLEY, n.d., 1810, 1821, 1836-1840 Arrangement: By record series, then chronological Reprocessed by: James Mark Valsame Date: February 14, 2003 Edward Bishop Dudley (December 15, 1789-October 30, 1855), governor, congressman, and capitalist, was born in Onslow County, near Jacksonville, the son of Christopher Dudley (1763-1828) and Margaret Snead Dudley (1764-1827). His father was a prominent planter, merchant, and shipbuilder who in 1827 was listed as the owner of ten thousand acres and eighty-seven slaves. His paternal grandparents were Bishop Dudley (1744-1788), who was active in the American Revolution, and Rebecca Ward. His maternal grandfather was Robert Snead of Onslow. Dudley represented Onslow in the House of Commons in 1811 and 1812, and in the senate in 1814. During this period he also served as an officer in the Onslow regiment that helped guard Wilmington during the War of 1812. After the war he moved to Wilmington, which he represented in the House of Commons in 1816 and 1817, and later in 1834 and 1835. In 1816 he opposed the presidential candidacy of James Monroe, and eight years later he was active in a coalition opposed to William H. Crawford and the Old Republican Virginia Dynasty. He challenged Congressman Gabriel Holmes for the Wilmington District seat in Congress, but was defeated in a close contest in August, 1829. However, Holmes died a few weeks later, and in a special election Dudley easily defeated William B. Meares. One of his first votes in Congress supported a measure to reduce the pay of its members.

  • The House That Dr. Pope Built: Race, Politics, Memory, and the Early Struggle for Civil Rights in North Carolina
    The House That Dr. Pope Built: Race, Politics, Memory, and the Early Struggle for Civil Rights in North Carolina Kenneth Joel Zogry A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History Chapel Hill 2008 Approved by: Advisor: Dr. James L. Leloudis Advisor: Dr. Donald G. Mathews Reader: Dr. John F. Kasson Reader: Dr. Jerma Jackson Reader: Dr. W. Fitzhugh Brundage Copyright 2008 Kenneth Joel Zogry ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii Abstract Kenneth Joel Zogry The House That Dr. Pope Built: Race, Politics, Memory, and the Early Struggle for Civil Rights in North Carolina (Under the direction of Dr. James L. Leloudis and Dr. Donald G. Mathews) In 1919, Dr. Manassa Thomas Pope ran for the office of mayor of Raleigh, North Carolina, heading a slate of all African American candidates for the city’s municipal positions. Born in 1858, Dr. Pope was part of a generation of college-educated black men in the South who came of age during Reconstruction, created successful businesses and professional lives, and were the backbone of political fusion in the 1890s. After the rise of white supremacy, which brought Jim Crow segregation and political disfranchisement, some African American men of Dr. Pope’s generation gave up political activity and/or left the South altogether. A significant group remained in North Carolina, however, and resisted white supremacy between 1900 and 1920 by registering to vote, forming political organizations, and insisting upon their rights to participate in the political process as an essential component of their manhood and citizenship.

State Archives Building over the past several months in order to ascertain the names of the various justices who presided over the Hyde County Court of Pleas and Quarter and also the Superior Court Justices. Ancillary to that research, I have noted inclusions in various minutes of the court that shed light on the original construction date of the Hyde County Court House and subsequent renovations that were undergone.

  • Commission on History, Race, and a Way Forward University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
    Commission on History, Race, and a Way Forward University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Resolution 001: To Recommend to Chancellor Kevin Guskiewicz the removal of the names of Charles B. Aycock, Josephus Daniels, Julian S. Carr, Thomas Ruffin, and Thomas Ruffin Jr. from, respectively, Aycock Residence Hall, the Josephus Daniels Building (Student Stores), Carr Building, and Ruffin Residence Hall. We believe that these names warrant immediate action. The elder Ruffin, Aycock, Daniels, and Carr occupied high positions of influence and public trust. Ruffin served on the North Carolina Supreme Court from 1829 to 1852, and again from 1858 to 1859. For all but four of those years, he presided as chief justice. Among legal scholars, his ruling in State v. Mann (1829) is known as “the coldest and starkest defense of the physical violence inherent in slavery that ever appeared in an American judicial opinion.” Aycock, Daniels, and Carr led the Democratic Party’s white supremacy campaigns of 1898 and 1900. Aycock was a key strategist in both campaigns and ran as the party’s gubernatorial candidate in 1900; Daniels, editor and publisher of the Raleigh News and Observer, served as chief propagandist; and Carr, a Durham industrialist and leader of the United Confederate Veterans in North Carolina, provided financial backing. Together, they fought to disenfranchise black men and to establish the regime of Jim Crow, which for more than half a century denied black North Carolinians equal justice and the fundamental rights of citizenship. Thomas Ruffin Jr. was a lawyer, one-term legislator, and former Confederate officer. He served briefly as an associate justice on the North Carolina Supreme Court (1881-1883) but otherwise left no distinctive mark on jurisprudence.
