Planter Reaction in North Carolina to Presidential Reconstruction, 1865-1867. (1964) Directed by: Dr. James S. Ferguson. PP« 92. When the Civil iar ended, the planter faced many- problems. The physical and economic destruction to the South had necessitated rebuilding. The capital with which to accomplish tnis had either been destroyed or had fled the region. In addition, the labor base of the region— slavery—had been eradicated. These were the major pro- blems which confronted the planter. Although North Carolina planters had differences, their enthusiastic support of Henry Clay they had in com- mon. Most of tiem had been Unionists during the seces- sion controversy. Under Presidential Reconstruction, Provisional Governor William if. Holden called a convention which met and outlawed the secession ordinance, abolished slavery, and cancelled the war debt. There was little disagreement among planters on the first two issues, but they did not relish repudiation. -

Governors’ Papers Alfred M. Scales Page One GOVERNOR ALFRED M. SCALES, n.d., 1885-1889 Arrangement: By record series, then chronological Reprocessed by: James Mark Valsame Date: July 12, 2004 Alfred Moore Scales (November 26, 1827-February 9, 1892), lawyer, legislator, congressman, soldier, governor, and banker, was born in Reidsville, Rockingham County. His parents were Robert H. Scales and Jane W. Bethel Scales. His grandfather Nathaniel Scales was a longtime representative to the North Carolina House of Commons from Rockingham County. Scales attended the Caldwell Institute, a preparatory school for boys in Greensboro. In 1845 he entered the University of North Carolina, where he studied law but never completed work for a degree. The university awarded him an honorary LL.D in 1889. After leaving school Scales read law under Judge William H. Battle, and was admitted to the bar in 1852. In the same year he was solicitor for Rockingham County. After serving in the House of Commons in 1852 and 1856-57, Scales, a Democrat, was elected to the Thirty-fifth Congress (March 4, 1857- March 3, 1859). Following this term in office, Scales represented North Carolina as a presidential elector on the Democratic ticket of John C. Breckinridge and Joseph Lane. With the secession of North Carolina from the Union on May 20, 1861, Scales volunteered for Confederate military service. Enlisting as a private in Company H (the Rockingham Guards), Thirteenth Regiment of the North Carolina State Troops on April 30, 1861, he was elected captain of the company on the same date. On October 12, 1861 he was promoted to colonel of the Thirteenth Regiment, succeeding fellow North Carolinian William Dorsey Pender of Edgecombe County. -

The Self-Memorialization of John Motley Morehead Iii
A CRAFTED LEGACY: THE SELF-MEMORIALIZATION OF JOHN MOTLEY MOREHEAD III Lindsay E. Oliver A senior honors thesis submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts in the Department of American Studies in the Colleges of Arts and Sciences. Chapel Hill 2019 Approved By: ABSTRACT Lindsay E. Oliver: A Crafted Legacy: The Self-Memorialization of John Motley Morehead III (Under the direction of Timothy Marr) This paper explores the self-memorialization project of John Motley Morehead III (1870- 1965) through his benefactions to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill during the 1930s through 1950s. An examination of the conception and execution of the Morehead- Patterson Bell Tower, Morehead Planetarium and Sundial, and Morehead-Cain Foundation reveals how Morehead sought to carefully engrave his name and memory into both the built landscape and the reputation of the University to promote a legacy of prestige through his own memory. This paper also examines relevant biographical details drawn from Morehead’s personal papers, which have not previously been subject to academic examination, and offers a critical review of Morehead’s legacy and contributions to the University as well as situates them within the philanthropic context of this period. Finally, it explores the implications of Morehead’s self-memorialization project for contemporary philanthropy as a means of establishing legacy. 2 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This project would not have been possible without the encouragement and unrelenting positivity of my advisor, Tim Marr, to whom I extend my utmost gratitude for guiding me through this process, reading my drafts, sending Melville quotations, and propelling me to be a better writer and student. -

(2017) Directed by Dr. Watson W. Jennison. 241 pp. During the first half of the nineteenth century, western North Carolina leaders fought a sectional political battle against an eastern-led legislature to gain political power and construct the North Carolina Railroad (NCRR) through the Piedmont. Over the course of westerners’ push for internal improvements and the successful construction of the NCRR, western leaders grew from a marginal group on the periphery of North Carolina’s economy to controlling the future trajectory of the state’s economic development. The NCRR Company’s directors and contractors employed thousands of hired slaves to construct the railroad from 1851-1856, and hundreds more to maintain and operate trains, tracks, and facilities from 1856 through the end of the Civil War. The economic benefits of the new railroad combined with the opportunity to profit from regular slave hiring, extended the benefits of slavery to all classes of North Carolina’s slaveholders, and created jobs and economic opportunities for all white North Carolinians. The enslaved men who were hired out to the NCRR performed all of the hard labor that made the NCRR a reality. Slave hire contracts between masters and the company ripped these men away from their home farms and plantations, and sentenced them to a brutal existence in the NCRR’s labor camps—a place void of slave families and communities, and characterized by inadequate food, shelter, clothing, and medical attention. -

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Party Formation in the United States Adissertationsubmittedinpartialsatisfactionofthe requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science by Darin Dion DeWitt 2013 c Copyright by Darin Dion DeWitt 2013 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Party Formation in the United States by Darin Dion DeWitt Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science University of California, Los Angeles, 2013 Professor Thomas Schwartz, Chair This dissertation is about how political parties formed in the world’s first mass democracy, the United States. I trace the process of party formation from the bottom up. First, I ask: How do individuals become engaged in politics and develop political affiliations? In most states, throughout the antebellum era, the county was the primary unit of political admin- istration and electoral representation. Owing to their small size, contiguity, and economic homogeneity, I expect that each county’s active citizens will form a county-wide governing coalition that organizes and dominates local politics. Second, I ask: Which political actor had incentives to lure county organizations into one coalition? I argue that the institutional rules for electing United States Senators – indirect election by state legislature – induced prospective United States Senators to construct a majority coalition in the state legislature. Drawing on nineteenth century newspapers, I construct a new dataset from the minutes of political meetings in three states between 1820 and 1860. I find that United States Senators created state parties out of homogeneous counties. They encouraged cooperation among county-wide governing coalitions by canvassing annual county political meetings, drafting ii and revising a multi-issue policy platform that had the potential to unite a majority of the state’s county governing coalitions, encouraging individual counties to create county- wide committees of correspondence and vigilance, and, finally, organizing a permanent state central committee and regular state-wide conventions. -
