Book excerpt: Excerpt from The North Carolina Historical Review, Vol. 24: Issued Quarterly; January-October 1947 Martial law ruled the people of North Carolina just after the close of the Civil War. The economic, political, and Social life of the populace was upset by the recent conflict, and the losses enforced on them by legislative action and military commandeer ing began to be felt after a few months. Government was ad ministered by the military under the Reconstruction acts and the laws under which the state had operated before the war were outmoded by secession and by occupation as a rebel terri tory until a framework of government acceptable to Congress could be set up. During this period various sections of the state and many of its citizens had forced upon them, through daily contact with the unfortunate Of their communities, the realization that some thing Should be done to alleviate many social and economic conditions. In the North Carolina constitution of 1776 there had been no provision for care Of the commonwealth's unfortunate and under privileged citizens. Not until the months approached for the drafting of a new document of that nature could much be done about the omissions. But the time came for the election of dele gates to draft for the state a new basic law, and here and there prospective delegates were interested in bettering the social structure of North Carolina.
