This had the desired effect. His first appearance in political life was in the campaign of 1840, when he cast his first vote for "Tippecanoe and Tyler too." He is a man of magnificent abilities, and his life has not been lived " apart unto himself," but his talents and energies have been directed toward the upbuilding of his state, and the uplifting of her people. THOMAS A. GREEN, a member of the banking house of Green, Foy & Co., was born in Newbern, N. C, June 25, 1846, and is a son of Thomas and Annie M. (Curtis) Green, both of Craven county, N. C. The father was a sea captain, being joint owner in the vessel he commanded, which was in the West India trade. He was lost at sea in 1852. Our subject was raised in Newbern, and received his scholastic training in the public schools of that town. At the age of twelve years Mr. Green was "bound out" to Mr. Fred Lane, by his guardian, A. T. Jerkins, Esq., to learn the carpenter's trade. On the 14th day of March, 1862, the city of Newbern was captured by Gen. Burnside, and on that day he was left a barefooted and bare-headed boy, without a penny to call his own. During the war he obtained employment at such odd jobs as he could pick up, and in 1868, having saved his earnings, he engaged in the mercantile business with Capt. Gates, the firm name being Gates & Green. In 1872 Mr. Green purchased the entire business, which he successfully conducted until 1885. In the latter year he became associated in the banking business with the present firm of Green, Foy & Co., he controlling a one-half interest. Early in life he was thrown on his own resources, and the reputation he has won as an able business man is vastly more to his credit than if he had not...

Book Caraleigh

    Book Details:
  • Author : Steven A. Hill
  • Publisher : McFarland
  • Release : 2022-04-29
  • ISBN : 1476687382
  • Pages : 241 pages

Download or read book Caraleigh written by Steven A. Hill and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2022-04-29 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Caraleigh neighborhood in south Raleigh was founded in 1892 with the opening of a cotton mill, fertilizer plant and workers' town. The old textile complex, with its "immense" brick structures continue to evoke a strong impression of a bygone period. The old mill remains the community's focal point as of 2022, leading some to worry that Caraleigh's modernized structure may conceal dark secrets. After the Civil War, cotton mills were at the heart of the South's frenzied pursuit of economic and psychological regeneration between 1880 and 1915. As Raleigh's greatest textile venture, Caraleigh itself was founded by a group of cotton investors. The origins of Raleigh's north-south divide can be seen in the many economic, psychological, social and political perils. While the Downtown South project promises a bright future for Raleigh in 2022, a close examination of the city's economic and social stratification in the past reveals the city's inequality, resulting in an affluent north Raleigh and a pauperized "south Raleigh ghetto." This work illuminates previously unrecognized aspects of Raleigh's history, such as how an outskirts neighborhood shaped the city's development during the twentieth century.

Book A Peculiar Humanism

    Book Details:
  • Author : William E. Wiethoff
  • Publisher : University of Georgia Press
  • Release : 2010
  • ISBN : 0820336327
  • Pages : 264 pages

Download or read book A Peculiar Humanism written by William E. Wiethoff and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In early-nineteenth-century America, and especially in the Old South, the use of oratory appealed to legal professionals--judges as well as advocates. Consistent with the humanism proclaimed in classical and neoclassical works, appellate judges perceived their civic duties to demand oratorical skill as well as legal expertise. In A Peculiar Humanism, William E. Wiethoff assesses the judicial use of oratory in reviewing slave cases and the struggle to fashion a humanist jurisprudence on slavery despite the customary restraints placed on judicial advocacy. Drawing attention to a neglected intersection of law and letters, Wiethoff analyzes the proslavery discourse embedded in antebellum judicial opinions by examining the public addresses, judicial narratives, and private papers of sixty-nine appellate judges. By contrasting the judges' proslavery appeals in a variety of cases in the upper and deep South, Wiethoff shows how context shaped the judges' perceptions, priorities, and arguments. An outstanding contribution to the literature on law and slavery, A Peculiar Humanism testifies to the character of the legal profession in the Old South and serves as an index of the beliefs and attitudes that coexisted with legal decision making.

Book A Man of Bad Reputation

    Book Details:
  • Author : Drew A. Swanson
  • Publisher : UNC Press Books
  • Release : 2023-08-29
  • ISBN : 1469674726
  • Pages : 221 pages

Download or read book A Man of Bad Reputation written by Drew A. Swanson and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2023-08-29 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Five years after the Civil War, North Carolina Republican state senator John W. Stephens was found murdered inside the Caswell County Courthouse. Stephens fought for the rights of freedpeople, and his killing by the Ku Klux Klan ultimately led to insurrection, Governor William W. Holden's impeachment, and the early unwinding of Reconstruction in North Carolina. In recounting Stephens's murder, the subsequent investigation and court proceedings, and the long-delayed confessions that revealed what actually happened at the courthouse in 1870, Drew A. Swanson tells a story of race, politics, and social power shaped by violence and profit. The struggle for dominance in Reconstruction-era rural North Carolina, Swanson argues, was an economic and ecological transformation. Arson, beating, and murder became tools to control people and landscapes, and the ramifications of this violence continued long afterward. The failure to prosecute anyone for decades after John Stephens's assassination left behind a vacuum, as each side shaped its own memory of Stephens and his murder. The malleability of and contested storytelling around Stephens's legacy presents a window into the struggle to control the future of the South.
