Historical Papers Vol 17

Excerpt from Historical Papers, Vol. 17: Published by the Trinity College Historical Society The most valuable studies of work done on the economic, legal, social, and religious aspects of slavery in North Carolina are the chapters by Dr. Wm. K. Boyd, of Duke University, in his History of North Carolina in the Federal Period, and Dr. John S. Bassett's Slavery and Servimde in the Colony of North Carolina, Slavery in North Carolina, and A nti-s lavery Leader: of North Carolina. It is upon these works that I have relied mainly for general information concerning slavery in North Carolina, and it is hoped that this essay may supplement these investigations, and also be of aid to any who may do a similar work for any other of the former slave holding states.
