  • The North Carolina Historical Review
    The North Carolina Historical Review Volume XX October, 1943 Number 4 PUBLIC BUILDINGS IN CRAVEN COUNTY 1722-1835 By Alonzo Thomas Dill, Junior I No greater problem faced the counties of early North Caro- lina than the periodical new construction and almost continuous demand for repair of public buildings. The costliness of some materials and the scarcity of skilled labor were only part of the trouble. The frequent indifference of officials and their inept- ness at collecting and accounting for revenues added to the diffi- culty. Public building was therefore a long-drawn-out under- taking. Construction of a courthouse might last a decade or more, and during these years taxes would sometimes double, so far as county levies were concerned. The erection of such a building required much effort, and its completion was a real accomplishment—one which this opulent generation, with its federal grants-in-aid and easy long-term borrowing, cannot fully appreciate. Today's epidemic of federal construction has resulted in the erection of so many public buildings of all kinds that perhaps, too, it is difficult to realize just how important these structures were to the early life of North Carolina. The jails with their pillory, stocks, and whipping post, the powder magazines for the militia, the courthouses and later pest houses and poor houses, served as a kind of common social denominator in whose creation everyone who paid taxes had a share and in whose benefits or miseries a large proportion of the population took part. The courthouses are a good example of this.

    Reconstruction DBQ Reconstruction: Success or Failure? “Is This a Republican Form of Government? Is This Protecting Life, Liberty, or Property?” Harper’s Weekly September 1, 1868 Overview: The twelve years after the Civil War proved to be a difficult time for America. Called Reconstruction by historians, this era saw an increase of freedom for former slaves. However, there was also great resistance to change. In 1877 attempts to reconstruct the South officially ended. How successful was the attempt to reconstruct the South after the Civil War? Directions: Read the background information and all provided documents. Write a five-paragraph argument essay that answers the essential question below. Be sure to create a strong claim/thesis (what you will prove) and use cited evidence from the documents to support your claim. (You may use the documents in any order you choose, they do NOT need to be used in the order presented-use source information provided). Follow the attached Argument Essay Rubric to guide your writing. Essential Question: To what extent was the Reconstruction of the South successful? To what extent was it a failure? 1 Reconstruction DBQ BACKGROUND The process of reconstructing the Union began in 1863, two years before the Confederacy formally surrendered. After major Union victories at Gettysburg and Vicksburg, Abraham Lincoln issued the Proclamation of Amnesty and Reconstruction in which he outlined his Ten-Percent Plan. The plan stipulated that each secessionist state had to redraft its constitution and could reenter the Union only after 10 percent of its eligible voters pledged an oath of allegiance to the United States.

  • The Extremest Condition of Humanity: Emancipation, Conflict
    THE EXTREMEST CONDITION OF HUMANITY: EMANCIPATION, CONFLICT AND PROGRESS IN WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA, 1865-1880 by STEVEN E. NASH (Under the Direction of John C. Inscoe) ABSTRACT Reconstruction in western North Carolina brings into great relief the disconnection between national policy and local reality that has become a driving force in American historians’ study of their nation’s reconstruction following the Civil War. This project is part of a growing trend that examines southern Reconstruction at the local level. It explores the transformation of western North Carolina’s political culture from a localized emphasis on community autonomy to a blending of local rule by elites mixed with external sources of power. It reveals the complexity beneath the surface of the overarching interpretation of Reconstruction as dominated by the struggle over black freedom. Race and the redefinition of African Americans’ place within the region, the state, and the nation were vital components of the mountain region’s Reconstruction, but due to the smaller black presence it was not the dominating issue. Western North Carolina’s similarities and differences with the plantation belt underscore the diversity and complexity of the postwar period throughout the South. Reconstruction in western Carolina forces scholars to recognize the broader issues of loyalty, industrial development and market integration, and reunification that played critical roles in restoring the United States after the war. At the heart of these issues was the exercise of power of the national state over local communities, white over black highlanders, and between different classes of white mountaineers. The political culture of the western counties changed because of the expansion of federal power in the form of tax collectors, soldiers, and conscription officials during the Civil War.

For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402. PREFACE To Abraham Lincoln, the Civil War was essentially a people's contest over the maintenance of a government dedi- cated to the elevation of man and the right of every citizen to an unfettered start in the race of life. President Lincoln believed that most Americans understood this, for he liked to boast that while large numbers of Army and Navy officers had resigned their commissions to take up arms against the government, not one common soldier or sailor was known to have deserted his post to fight for the Confederacy.
