(Excerpt from Address at the Unveiling of the Confederate ...)
Excerpt from Address at the Unveiling of the Confederate Monument, at Raleigh, N. C., May 20th, 1895 I salute you with unfeigned emotion, my countrymen and countrywomen, upon the return of this historic day which you have assembled here to reconsecrate by a new act of piety and patriotism. It marks an epoch in our annals. It is indeed a monumental day, and one upon which the women of North Carolina, who have wrought long and unceasingly, and have waited for its dawning, may reverently repeat the words of the Psalm ist and say, This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. A year ago, in the presence of thronging thousands, and with imposing ceremonies which were crowned by splendid oratory, you laid the corner-stone of this structure, which now, in finished beauty, stands senti nel in the western gateway of your Capitol.

Insane Asylum, July 18, 1889 Wearied as you necessarily are by your long continued sit tings in this investigation, and satiated, as you must be, with discussion, I feel that in closing this debate I should be as brief as duty will permit, and, such will be my aim. Further argu ment may be unnecessary, but a summary of the leading facts, and a reply to what has been 'said in behalf of the respondent, may possibly help you toward a just determination of the issues presented, and is necessary to.

Some Memories of My Life, 1907
( About the Book Biographical books, or bios, are detaile...)
About the Book Biographical books, or bios, are detailed descriptions of a person's life. A biography is more than simply the basic facts, like education, work, relationships, and death. It portrays a person's experience of major life events. A biography presents a subject's life story, emphasizing certain aspects of his or her life, and including intimate details of their experiences, which may include an analysis of their personality. Biographical works are generally non-fiction, but fictional works can also be used to portray a person's life. An in-depth form of biographical coverage is referred to as legacy writing. An authorized biography refers to a book written with the permission, cooperation, and at times, participation of the subject or the subject's heirs. An autobiography, on the other hand, is written by the person themselves, sometimes with the assistance of a collaborator or “ghostwriter”. About us Leopold Classic Library has the goal of making available to readers the classic books that have been out of print for decades. While these books may have occasional imperfections, we consider that only hand checking of every page ensures readable content without poor picture quality, blurred or missing text etc. That's why we: • republish only hand checked books; • that are high quality; • enabling readers to see classic books in original formats; that • are unlikely to have missing or blurred pages. You can search "Leopold Classic Library" in categories of your interest to find other books in our extensive collection. Happy reading!

A History of New Hanover County (North Carolina), and the Cape Fear Region, 1723-1800
(New Hanover was established as a precinct in Bath County ...)
New Hanover was established as a precinct in Bath County in 1729. This work covers the history of the region from about that time down through the American Revolution. The author apparently intended to continue his work, this volume being marked "Volume I;" however, no subsequent volumes were published. Although this history touches on most of the usual topics, identifies the early plantations and their owners, and mentions the various communities in the county, the emphasis is on events during the Revolutionary War era and on Wilmington. There is a map and several illustrations of people or sites mentioned in the text.

Alfred Moore Waddell
Edit ProfileEducation
He was educated at the Bingham School and Caldwell Institute in Hillsboro and at the University of North Carolina, 1851-53. He studied law with Frederick Nash, John L. Bailey, William H. Battle, and Samuel F. Phillips.
Career
He was admitted to the bar in 1855 and in the following spring settled in Wilmington, his permanent residence, excepting a year, 1882-83, as a newspaper editor in Charlotte. His chief joy and distinction, however, were in public service, oratory, and historical authorship rather than in the practice of law. He was clerk and master in equity of New Hanover County, 1858-61. Staunchly conservative and unionist, he supported the American presidential ticket in 1856, opposed the growing secession movement, purchased and edited a unionist newspaper, the Wilmington Herald, in 1860-61, and went with the North Carolina delegation to the Constitutional Union National Convention in 1860 as an alternate. During the Civil War he served first as adjutant and in 1863-64 as lieutenant-colonel of the 416t North Carolina Regiment (3rd Cavalry), from which he resigned on account of impaired health. He accepted the results of the war and favored a conservative readjustment of the Southern regime, advocating limited Negro suffrage in an address to Negroes in Wilmington in the summer of 1865 (Sentinel, Raleigh, Aug. 8, 1865). After three years of radical Reconstruction and the outrages of the Kirk-Holden war in 1870 the Conservative party attacked the Republican-Negro regime in the campaign of 1870.
First elected to Congress that year, he served by reelection until 1879. In Congress he spoke eloquently and with wide acclaim in temperate defense of the South, in deprecation of partisanship and sectionalism, and for the honor, character, and solidarity of the American union. He opposed the Ku Klux Act of 1871 as unnecessary, unconstitutional, and partisan, though he voted for congressional investigations of alleged Southern outrages, served reluctantly on the joint select investigating committee of 1871, and signed the minority report. As chairman of the House committee on the postoffice and postroads, 1877-79, he sought improvements in the postal service and the establishment of postal savings banks. Democratic overconfidence and inactivity and a wide distribution of his limited Negro suffrage speech caused his defeat in 1878. He was a delegate to the Democratic national conventions of 1880 and 1896, and an elector-at-large in 1888. His fine stage presence, genial personality, and polished eloquence placed him in great demand in North Carolina and other states for commencement, patriotic, historical, and political addresses. For five months in 1880 he canvassed Vermont, Maine, and New York for the Democratic ticket. Pride in his state and his distinguished lineage stimulated him to historical authorship. He made fervent speeches in the bitter "White Supremacy" campaign of 1898, redeemed the state from the abuses of Republican-Populist-Negro rule, and he was the chief leader of the white citizenship in Wilmington that on Nov. 9-10 forcibly rid the city of a Negro newspaper, offending whites and Negroes, and a corrupt and unpopular government, and precipitated a bloody race riot. Elected mayor, he quickly restored peace and order and until 1905 gave to the city a dignified, clean, and peaceful government. He was an Episcopalian and a Mason. Waddell died in Wilmington in 1912.
