    Governors’ Papers Zebulon B. Vance Page One GOVERNOR ZEBULON B. VANCE, n.d., 1876-1879 Arrangement: By record series, then chronological Reprocessed by: James Mark Valsame Date: March 25, 2004 Zebulon Baird Vance (13 May 1830-14 April 1894), Confederate soldier, governor of North Carolina, congressman, and U.S. senator, was the third child and second son of David and Mira Baird Vance. He was born in the old homestead in Buncombe County, on Reems Creek, about twelve miles north of Asheville. After attending the neighborhood schools, he enrolled in 1843 (at age thirteen) in Washington College, near Jonesboro in eastern Tennessee, but withdrew the next year on the death of his father, who left a widow and seven children. In search of better educational opportunities Mrs. Vance moved to Asheville and put her children in school there. In 1850 Vance read law briefly under John W. Woodfin and in July 1851 arrived at The University of North Carolina to continue his legal studies. The next year, after being licensed to practice in the state’s county courts, he returned to Asheville and was immediately elected solicitor for Buncombe County. In 1853 he was admitted to practice in the superior courts. Yet law never brought forth his best endeavors. For Vance law was primarily preparation for politics, which was his passion. Success in the courtroom was usually the result of wit, humor, boisterous eloquence, and clever retorts, not knowledge of the law. He understood people better than he did judicial matters. Vance entered North Carolina politics as a Henry Clay Whig but on the dissolution of his party aligned himself with the American or Know-Nothing party.

  • Secession in North Carolina—A Lesson Plan
    National History Day in NC NATIONAL HISTORY DAY www.ah.dcr.state.nc.us/edu-outrch/historyday.html Secession in North Carolina—A Lesson Plan General Overview Following the election of Abraham Lincoln in November 1860, the states of the lower South seceded from the Union. In North Carolina the citizens were not of one mind on the issue. Prior to April 1861 the majority of North Carolinians were opposed to secession, but there was a very vocal minority in favor of joining the Confederacy. The secessionist movement included the governor of the state, John W. Ellis. Unionists counted among their numbers prominent figures such as Congressman Zebulon Vance. In February 1861 the state’s citizens voted on whether to call a convention to discuss the issue. The referendum failed, indicat- ing that even at that late date most Tar Heels were not willing to consider the possibility. Yet it was a divisive topic, and some families were divided on the issue. Views of many North Carolinians about secession changed in April 1861. As the tide of public opinion turned, the course of the state’s history was forever altered as well. Lesson Objectives Students will be able to: 1. Use interpretation of documentary sources to analyze the contemporary attitudes of North Carolinians regarding the secession issue 2. Examine how the issue affected both personal and political lives 3. Trace the evolution of thought on the issue of secession in North Carolina 4. Appreciate the value of documentary volumes in researching history Preparation Have students read sections from their textbook on the election of 1860 and the South’s reaction to it.

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.

In this publication we have selected a number of days which might be appropriately celebrated ; and have pointed out the significance of each of these days and made suggestions as to how they might be observed. It is the purpose of this publication to give meaning to the events that lay back of the days which are to be observed. The material, therefore, is presented in three main parts: (1) Historical; (2) Concepts to be learned ; and (3) Activities which may be performed. Resources for other material which the teacher may want to use are also given, a specific list with each "day" material and a general list at the end of the publica- tion. It is our hope that teachers, principals and supervisors will use this bulletin as a guide in conveying to our boys and girls the significance of days which we observe and that they will learn the values inherent in such observance, I wish to thank the following committee for the preparation of this guide: L.
