Cornelia P. See also:Spencer, First Steps in North Carolina See also:History (6th ed., See also:Raleigh, 1893), is a brief elementary See also:book written for use in the public See also:schools. For the colonial and revolutionary periods there are some excellent studies. C. L. Raper, North Carolina: a Study in See also:English Colonial See also:Government (New See also:York, 1904), treats of the royal period (1729-1776) from the legal point of view; J. S. Bassett, Constitutional Beginnings of North Carolina (See also:Baltimore, 1894); The Regulators of North Carolina (See also:Washington, 1894); and See also:Slavery in the See also:State of North Carolina (Baltimore, 1899), are all trustworthy. S. B. See also:Weeks deals with the religious history in his Religious Development in the Province of North Carolina, (Baltimore, 1892), See also:Church and State in North Carolina (Baltimore, 1893) and See also:Southern See also:Quakers and Slavery (Baltimore, 1896) ; he is See also:anti-See also:Anglican, but judicial. E.

W. Sikes, The Transition of North Carolina from See also:

Colony to See also:Commonwealth (Baltimore, 1898), based on the public records, is accurate, though dull. There is a considerable controversial literature concerning the See also:Mecklenburg See also:Declaration of In-dependence; W. H. Hoyt's The Mecklenburg Declaration of See also:Independence (New York, 1907) is the best presentation of the view generally adopted by competent historians that the alleged Declaration of the loth of May 1775 is See also:spurious; G. W. Graham, The Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence (New York, 1905), and J. W. Moore, See also:Defence of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence (1909), are perhaps the best of the attempts to prove the same Declaration genuine. The older histories of the colony are: See also:Hugh See also:Williamson, History of North Carolina (2 vols. See also:Philadelphia, 1812), which deals with the period before 1771 and is meagre and full of errors; F. X.

Martin, History of North Carolina (2 vols., New See also:

Orleans, 1829), which deals with the period before 1776, contains much irrelevant See also:matter and is of little value; F. L. See also:Hawks, History of North Carolina (2 vols. See also:Fayetteville, N.C., 1857-1858), written from the established church point of view, the best and fullest treatment of the proprietary period (1663-1729) ; and W. D. See also:Cooke (ed.), Revolutionary History of North Carolina (Raleigh and New York, 1853), containing a defence of the Regulators. For the Reconstruction period see J. G. de Roulhac See also:Hamilton, Reconstruction in North Carolina (Raleigh, 1906) ; See also:Report of the See also:Joint Select See also:Committee to Inquire into the !'ondition of Affairs in the See also:late Insurrectionary States, being the 42nd See also:Congress, 2nd session, See also:House Report 22 (13 vols., Washington, 1872; vol. ii. deals with North Carolina) ; and Hilary A. See also:Herbert et at. Why the Solid See also:South? or Reconstruction and its Results (Baltimore, 189o). The See also:chief published See also:sources are The Colonial Records of North Carolina (Jo vols., Raleigh, 1886-189o) ; and The State Records of North Carolina (vols. 11-20, 1776-1788; other vols., in continuation of the colonial See also:series, Winston (1J-15) and See also:Goldsboro (16-2o), 1895-1902; the series is to be continued).

The best bibliography is S. B. Weeks, Bibliography of See also:
