Ekrich examines the reasons for eighteenth-century North Carolina's political factionalism, social violence, and governmental paralysis. Especially disruptive were the opening of new areas of settlement and the influx of migrant groups with high material hopes, particularly since the colony's economy remained underdeveloped during much of the century. Fresh analyses are drawn of Governor Burrington's fiery administration, the Granville district turmoil of the 1760s, and Regular Riots. Originally published in 1981.

Excerpt from Libraries and Literature in North Carolina in the Eighteenth Century The chief reasons for the slow growth of the province are to be found in the bad government and neglect of the proprietors, who devoted themselves to building up the colony on Ashley River and allowed that of Albemarle to get along the best it could; to the persistent hostility of the Crown and its agents and of the British merchants to the proprietary government, North Carolina, its Settlement and Growth, p. 10. Lbid., p. 2. Colonial Records, IV, 605. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
