Download or read book African American Hospitals in North Carolina written by Phoebe Ann Pollitt and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2017-09-29 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Untold thousands of black North Carolinians suffered or died during the Jim Crow era because they were denied admittance to white-only hospitals. With little money, scant opportunities for professional education and few white allies, African American physicians, nurses and other community leaders created their own hospitals, schools of nursing and public health outreach efforts. The author chronicles the important but largely unknown histories of more than 35 hospitals, the Leonard Medical School and 11 hospital-based schools of nursing established in North Carolina, and recounts the decades-long struggle for equal access to care and equal opportunities for African American health care professionals.

Download or read book Spring 1865 written by Perry D. Jamieson and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2015 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Gen. Robert E. Lee fled from Petersburg and Richmond, Virginia, in April 1865, many observers did not realize that the Civil War had reached its nadir. A large number of Confederates, from Jefferson Davis down to the rank-and-file, were determined to continue fighting. Though Union successes had nearly extinguished the Confederacy's hope for an outright victory, the South still believed it could force the Union to grant a negotiated peace that would salvage some of its war aims. As evidence of the Confederacy's determination, two major Union campaigns, along with a number of smaller engagements, were required to quell the continued organized Confederate military resistance. In Spring 1865 Perry D. Jamieson juxtaposes for the first time the major campaign against Lee that ended at Appomattox and Gen. William T. Sherman's march north through the Carolinas, which culminated in Gen. Joseph E. Johnston's surrender at Bennett Place. Jamieson also addresses the efforts required to put down armed resistance in the Deep South and the Trans-Mississippi. As both sides fought for political goals following Lee's surrender, these campaigns had significant consequences for the political-military context that shaped the end of the war as well as Reconstruction.

Download or read book The Historic Architecture of Johnston County North Carolina written by Thomas Butchko and published by . This book was released on 2016-11-01 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Historic Architecture of Johnston County highlights a diverse array of buildings and structures in one of North Carolina's fastest growing counties. Nestled between Raleigh and Goldsboro along the fall line that separates Coastal Plain and Piedmont, Johnston is known for its fascinating personalities, its close-knit small towns and rural communities, and its long-held status as a leading agricultural county. An influx of newcomers to the western half of the county since the late 1980s has transformed much of the rural landscape, but farming is still alive and well in the eastern sections where extensive development has yet to occur. Buildings such as those featured in these pages provide vital, irreplaceable connections to a cherished past and rural way of life that is ever-changing.

Download or read book Bentonville written by Nathaniel Cheairs Hughes Jr. and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2000-11-09 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The battle of Bentonville, the only major Civil War battle fought in North Carolina, was the Confederacy's last attempt to stop the devastating march of William Tecumseh Sherman's army north through the Carolinas. Despite their numerical disadvantage, General Joseph E. Johnston's Confederate forces successfully ambushed one wing of Sherman's army on March 19, 1865 but were soon repulsed. For the Confederates, it was a heroic but futile effort to delay the inevitable: within a month, both Richmond and Raleigh had fallen, and Lee had surrendered.
Download or read book Carolina Loyalist written by John Hairr and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2022-12-21 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most enigmatic figures of the American Revolutionary War, Colonel David Fanning is best known for his 1781 capture of Thomas Burke, the governor of North Carolina. As a Loyalist officer, Fanning fought in more than thirty minor engagements across the Carolinas, serving as commander of Loyalist forces during the Battle of Lindley's Mill--the largest battle fought between the Whigs and Loyalists during the Tory War of 1781-82. His successes on behalf of the British government led to his being banned from North Carolina after the war. This first full-length biography chronicles Fanning's deeds through some of the most brutal fighting in the Carolinas, and his postwar tribulations in British East Florida, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.
