Book excerpt: In this lively two-part narrative, Carole W. Troxler and William M. Vincent place the legacy of Alamance County solidly in the context of regional and national history. Using a broad social scope and the conventional break at 1865, they connect themes and stories across that artificial line. The resulting threads link pre-Civil War divisions with the post-Emancipation violence that made the area the storm center of the state in the 1870s. Thereafter, recovery and renewal depended on leadership, education, and especially labor -- the constant back-and-forth motion of the shuttle across the loom and its parallel, the plow along the furrow.Shuttle & Plow spans more than three centuries, twice the age of the county carved from western Orange County in 1849. The greater Alamance story includes cultural changes over time, including religious dynamics that came to distinguish much of Southern life. Economic currents begin with deerskin trade and the impact that Native American trading paths had on where new arrivals settled. Methods of farming and home manufacturing are explored, along with the functions of crossroads trading and manufacturing centers before the coming of the railroad. After the Civil War, transitions to wage labor and commercial farming reinforced the rise and domination of textiles. Refinements and adjustments in the textile industry and farming are a major twentieth century theme, along with increasing economic diversity. Changes in labor relations and race relations are important features of the county's social heritage.Shuttle & Plow reveals previously untold stories, many in the words of their actors. Its research grasped longstanding thorns, such as the controversial reputation of a Quaker abolitionist/slave owner and the identity of Wyatt Outlaw. Since the book's 1999 publication, its depth and documentation are encouraging learners and established scholars alike to research further into this microcosm of the American South that is Alamance County. North Carolina Libraries calls the book ?a scholars dream . . . and one of the finest county histories in the nation. . . . Shuttle & Plow sets the standard.' The Alamance County Historical Association is pleased to reissue it for a broader market.

Download or read book Alamance written by Bess Beatty and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1837, Edwin M. Holt -- a thirty-year-old, fourth-generation North Carolinian -- established a small spinning mill on his family's land along the Haw River in rural Orange County. By his death in 1884, Holt's small spinning mill had come to dominate the textile industry in Alamance County -- which divided from Orange County in 1849 -- and gave the area an industrial legacy that would last for generations. Covering the Holt dynasty from the founding of the Alamance Factory in 1837 to the strike of 1900 that eventually shut down most of the family's mills, Alamance provides an excellent social history of southern industrial development. Bess Beatty intersperses chapters on the rise of the Holts with profiles on their workers to provide a thorough explanation of how industrialization affected sectional, familial, racial, and gender relations across class lines. Focusing on class formation and conflict, she rejects the long-held view that southern owners were paternalistic and that workers were docile and deferential, instead arguing that owners and workers had a contentious class-driven relationship, with both sides striving to maximize their economic success. Moreover, while Beatty shows that slavery, secession, war, defeat, and postbellum race relations influenced the development of southern industry, she maintains that industrialization in the South was not fundamentally different from that in other regions of the country. Alamance's story of southern industrial power makes an outstanding contribution to the history of southern communities and will fascinate those interested in the region, as well as students of social, business, and labor history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this new study, Dr. Carole Troxler steps back more than two decades before the pivotal Battle of Alamance (May 16, 1771) to examine the issues and their cultural context that fostered the Regulator Movement and determined its progress, and political aftermath. This is the story of local government more interested in its needs than those of its constituents--and of settlers steeped in the Dissenter religious culture who drew on its political orientation to risk activism often cited as a prelude to the American Revolution.

Book excerpt: Allen W. Trelease’s White Terror, originally published in 1971, was the first scholarly history of the Ku Klux Klan in the South during Reconstruction. With its research rooted in primary sources, it remains among the most comprehensive treatments of the subject. In addition to the Klan, Trelease discusses other night-riding groups, including the Ghouls, the White Brotherhood, and the Knights of the White Camellia. He treats the entire South state by state, details the close link between the Klan and the Democratic party, and recounts Republican efforts to resist the Klan. Winner of the Charles S. Sydnor Award from the Southern Historical Association

This book was released on 2021-09-15 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sallie Stockard (1869-1963), the first female graduate of the University of North Carolina, published three county histories between 1900 and 1904. Thereafter, she lived an obscure and difficult life that reveals much about the many challenges women of that time faced. Encouraged by New South educational mentors, she countered restrictions on women with diligence and self-promotion. Carole Troxler discloses Stockard's professional and personal hindrances, resourcefulness, failures, and triumph, following her to New England, the Southwest, and New York. Like her subject, Troxler lives in Alamance County, and her publications include its history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ten years before the start of the American Revolution, backcountry settlers in the North Carolina Piedmont launched their own defiant bid for economic independence and political liberty. The Regulator Rebellion of 1766-71 pitted thousands of farmers, many of them religious radicals inspired by the Great Awakening, against political and economic elites who opposed the Regulators' proposed reforms. The conflict culminated on May 16, 1771, when a colonial militia defeated more than 2,000 armed farmers in a pitched battle near Hillsborough. At least 6,000 Regulators and sympathizers were forced to swear their allegiance to the government as the victorious troops undertook a punitive march through Regulator settlements. Seven farmers were hanged. Using sources that include diaries, church minutes, legal papers, and the richly detailed accounts of the Regulators themselves, Marjoleine Kars delves deeply into the world and ideology of free rural colonists. She examines the rebellion's economic, religious, and political roots and explores its legacy in North Carolina and beyond. The compelling story of the Regulator Rebellion reveals just how sharply elite and popular notions of independence differed on the eve of the Revolution.
