  • Walter Clark and the Long Progressive Era in North Carolina. (2015) Directed by Dr
    KAISER, JOHN JAMES, Ph.D. Judicial Knight Errant: Walter Clark and the Long Progressive Era in North Carolina. (2015) Directed by Dr. Mark Elliott. 277 pp. From 1889-1924 Walter Clark served on the North Carolina Supreme Court. Clark, the son of a wealthy slaveholding eastern North Carolina family, emerged as a force for progressive change in North Carolina law and politics. During Justice Clark’s tenure on the North Carolina Supreme Court (Associate Justice, 1889-1902; Chief Justice 1903-1924) he forged a progressive jurisprudence that defied the traditional perception of the judiciary as a conservative bulwark against reform and instead promoted labor rights, women’s rights, and public regulation. Clark’s often controversial judicial decisions and political positions led to conflict with the state’s railroad interests, textile mills, and even the wealthy Duke family. While Clark’s activism often pushed the limits of acceptable political engagement by a sitting Supreme Court justice, he was continuously reelected to the North Carolina Supreme Court up until his death in 1924. Clark’s judicial and political career provides insight into progressive politics in North Carolina history. Early twentieth century progressives in North Carolina enacted moderate reforms in education, child labor, women’s rights, and utility regulation through the legislature. Yet Chief Justice Clark offers us a popular political figure whose views pushed for much greater reform. Clark, through legal and political means, influenced Supreme Court opinions and legislation that protected North Carolina’s laborers from workplace injury, limited child labor in the industrial workplace, expanded property and voting rights to women in North Carolina, and pushed for active public regulation of private utility companies.

Williams, 1986 5 Sept. 1804–11 Aug. 1875 See also: William Alexander Graham [2], Research Branch, NC Office of Archives and History, Portrait of William Alexander Graham by William Garl Browne, circa 1845-1875. Image from the North Carolina Museum of History. [3]William Alexander Graham, lawyer, planter, and governor, was the eleventh child and youngest son of Joseph and Isabella Davidson Graham. He was born on Vesuvius Plantation, the family home in eastern Lincoln County [4]. Both parents were staunch Presbyterians of Scotch-Irish ancestry; their progenitors had migrated first to western Pennsylvania before resettling in the more congenial climate of Mecklenburg County [5]. An iron entrepreneur and sometime public servant, Joseph Graham [6] (1759–1836) had achieved local fame as a young but dedicated Revolutionary officer. Isabella Davidson Graham (1762–1808) was the accomplished daughter of the John Davidsons whose Mecklenburg home, Rural Hill, was renowned as a seat of gracious living. John Davidson [7], himself a Revolutionary patriot, was a substantial farmer and practical blacksmith who, with his sons-in-law Alexander Brevard [8] and Joseph Graham, pioneered the Catawba River valley iron industry [9]. The Grahams and Davidsons were noted for their sagacity, frugality, diligence, and public spirit. William A. Graham embodied these familial traits. Under the supervision of a devoted father, now a widower, young Graham enjoyed the pleasures of a rural boyhood, learned the rudiments of plantation and furnace management, and prepared for a professional career.

He earned an A.B. degree in 1857, joined the faculty as a Latin tutor in 1858, and in 1860 completed an L.L.B. in preparation to practice law. The university also awarded Graham two honorary degrees, an M.A. in 1859 and an L.L.D. in 1921. Graham served on UNC's Board of Trustees from 1876 until his death in 1928 and was an elected member of its executive committee beginning in 1891.2 Graham's father, William, was a prominent figure in North Carolina politics.

  • The Black Community in Asheville, North Carolina from 1793 to 1900

Waters 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 2012 Approved by: Dr. Harry Watson Dr. Fitzhugh Brundage Dr. Heather Williams Dr. Genna Rea McNeil Dr. James E. Crisp ©2011 Darin J. Waters ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii Abstract DARIN J. WATERS: Life Beneath the Veneer: The Black Community in Asheville, North Carolina from 1793 to 1900 (Under the direction of Harry Watson) The focus of this dissertation is the social, economic, and political development of the black community in Asheville, North Carolina from 1793 to 1900. It spans the period of slavery, the Civil War, emancipation, Fusion politics, and disfranchisement. From 1865 to 1900, blacks in Asheville experienced some progress. As the city’s popularity as a national tourist and health resort grew, especially after the arrival of the railroad in 1880, blacks found jobs in the city’s growing service sector. Service sector jobs did not provide blacks with the type of financial opportunities necessary for any significant economic or social progress, however. The racial attitudes of whites added to the challenges that blacks faced in Asheville. As a very small minority, blacks never had any significant degree of political power in Asheville and, thus, were thus without any means through which they might challenge their marginalization. Asheville’s importance rests in its role as the economic, social, and political center of western North Carolina.

  • Notes About Scotch-Irish and German Settlers in Virginia and the Carolinas
    Notes about Scotch-Irish and German Settlers in Virginia and the Carolinas Copyright © 2000–2009 by William Lee Anderson III. All rights reserved. Scotch-Irish and German Settlers in Virginia and the Carolinas Introduction During the 1700s many Scotch-Irish and German immigrants arrived in America. They and their children settled parts of Pennsylvania, Virginia, and the Carolinas. Today, most of their descendants never think about their heritage. Most live in the present, are working on real-life problems, or planning their future. That attitude was shared by their ancestor immigrants 250 years ago. Nonetheless, I suspect most descendants have at least wondered what the word Scotch-Irish means. All my life, I have heard various facts, but never understood how they fit together. Some facts appeared contradictory. So, I investigated, and discovered a colorful story that far exceeded my expectations. My principal objectives were to: Understand certain comments made by grandparents and other relatives over 40 years ago. Understand the confusing adjective Scotch-Irish. Understand the confusing cultural icons of bagpipes, kilts, Celtic whistles, etc. Understand the history of Moravian, Lutheran, Mennonite, Amish, Dunkards, Presbyterian, Puritanism, Huguenot, Quaker, Methodist, Congregational, and Baptist denominations that have churches in the Carolinas. Understand why and when surnames became common. Understand ancestor Margaret Moore‘s recollections of the Siege of Londonderry in 1689. Understand motivations of Scotch-Irish and German immigrants during the 1700s and terms of their Carolina land grants. Understand relations between early Carolina immigrants and Native Americans. Understand why Scotland‘s heroine Flora Macdonald came to live in North Carolina in 1774.

[Vol.22 BOOK REVIEWS Gateway to Citizenship. By Carl B. Hyatt. Washington: United States Government Printing Office. 1943. Pp. vii, 153. Mr. Justice Felix Frankfurter once said, " ... they [immigrants] come not merely because persecution drives them; they come because the American tradition beckons them." Once we allow those persons of other lands to take up their residence within our shores and become American citizens, the question arises as to how we are going to im- press upon them the meaning of the American way of life. All immigrants desiring to become citizens must maintain their residence within the United States for a certain number of years. They must meet certain educational requirements, and comply with the var- ious regulations as set up by the Immigration and Naturalization Serv- ice. Yet something is lacking in this whole process in that it tends to become too cut and dried a procedure, culminating in naturalization ceremonies which fail to dignify and emphasize the importance of citizenship.
