    For two weeks, I stayed in Charleston, South Carolina. I didn’t know much about the place, except that I referred to it as an army town because that’s where my sister and her husband, who was in the military, stayed. I was reluctant to go, but Charleston had a lot to offer me; a new change of pace and some new scenery was much more satisfying than spending the two weeks stuck in Iowa doing the same old routine. The weather was mystical in Charleston.…

    Oppression is common throughout history; resistance is common, also. North Carolina finds its place in the American narrative both as a British colony and later as a state, but it has its own individuality in how that transition was made. While many fellow colonists viewed the inhabitants of North Carolina as backwards or simple, this did not impede the development of a culture that was slowly becoming more diverse and growing as immigration drastically raised the population over the course of several decades. Through the mid-eighteenth century, the inhabitants would have certainly recognized their identity as part of the colony, but unification was mainly only governmental. Those who had immigrated from England, Ireland, Scotland, and Germany…

    North Carolina is truly a unique breed in terms of being a state. While North Carolina was one of the original thirteen colonies, a new state after the American Revolution, and a state in the antebellum south, it has always been unique in its political footing. From the beginning, North Carolina has tried to become the best version of itself, but as the old adage says, “the more things change the more they stay the same”. This is quite an appropriate quote to describe North Carolina. Writer Harry L. Watson describes North Carolina as the “Rip Van Winkle” state.…

    When the Europeans first came to, what is now known as North Carolina, they struggled to make it and eventually ended up settling in Virginia because of numerous reasons, political, geography, and culture. The Virginia colony finally figured out a way to turn profit and the settlers began settling in North Carolina again. Because North Carolina lacked a deep port they relied heavily on their surrounding colonies to get food and supplies, as well as more immigrants to work. America began to thrive and because of this, was seen across Europe as a place to work and have religious freedom. North Carolina was beginning to shape geographically, politically, religiously, and through diversity through these growing immigrants and settlers.…
