Sadly, it was checked out until January of 2016. I didn’t even know it was possible to do so. Regardless, I was back on the search. I turned to the book The Carolina Gold Rush by Bruce Roberts. This contained an interesting nugget of information. In the mid 1800’s when the gold rush was active in Charlotte. Charlotte became the location for a US mint and began mining gold coins in 1836. Charlotte had its own mint mark of “c” on the coins produced. It was convenient to mint in Charlotte due to…

The fact that only one major massacre was required to activate this change demonstrates just how high the tensions were boiling. The election of 1900 passed quickly and ended with an overwhelming Democratic win, mainly because blacks and other…

The passing of House Bill 2 (HB2) in North Carolina has been surrounded by controversy.
