Through an examination of the pleas and petitions of ordinary North Carolinians, Declarations of Dependence contends that the Civil War redirected, not destroyed, claims of dependence by exposing North Carolinians to the expansive but unsystematic power of Union and Confederate governments, and by loosening the legal ties that bound them to husbands, fathers, and masters. 606 $aReconstruction (U.S. history, 1865-1877)$zNorth Carolina 606 $aDependency$xPolitical aspects$zNorth Carolina$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aPatron and client$xPolitical aspects$zNorth Carolina$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aPolitical culture$zNorth Carolina$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aPopulism$zNorth Carolina$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aNorth Carolina$xPolitics and government$y1861-1865 607 $aNorth Carolina$xPolitics and government$y1865-1950 607 $aNorth Carolina$xHistory$yCivil War, 1861-1865$xSocial aspects 607 $aUnited States$xHistory$yCivil War, 1861-1865$xSocial aspects 607 $aNorth Carolina$xSocial conditions$y19th century 615 0$aReconstruction (U.S. history, 1865-1877) 615 0$aDependency$xPolitical aspects$xHistory 615 0$aPatron and client$xPolitical aspects$xHistory 615 0$aPolitical culture$xHistory 615 0$aPopulism$xHistory 676 $a975.6/03 700 $aDowns$b Gregory P$01172516 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910791462303321 996 $aDeclarations of dependence$93703500 997 $aUNINA
