Abstract
A leading authority on the people and events that have shaped North Carolina over four centuries, Powell here provides a sharply drawn overall history of the state for general readers. In twelve chapters this volume traces North Carolina's history from England's initial efforts to found a colony in America in the sixteenth century to uncertain and often-turbulent times as the final quarter of the twentieth century approached. |The first book-length study of the Supreme Court's racial gerrymandering decisions as well as the first sustained comparison of the First and Second Reconstructions.
