Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the history of the public debt of North Carolina, from 1870 to 1878, a period marked by rampant political and economic turmoil. State legislators found themselves wrestling with how to pay for bonds issued to aid railroads, many of which had been acquired through fraud and corruption. The debt was a major political issue, with some calling for its repudiation and others fearing that would harm the state's credit rating. The book provides a timely reminder of the precarious financial situation the state found itself in during Reconstruction, and how it was able to overcome that adversity. Through extensive research into financial reports, newspapers, and other records, the author has crafted a narrative that illuminates not only the complexities of the debt, but the political climate of the era.
