In this study of political party development in North Carolina
during the antebellum period, Thomas E. Jeffrey accounts for the
persistence of the second-party system in that state, emphasizing
the sectional conflict that divided eastern plantation and western
small farming counties. Although members of the Whig and Democratic
parties disagreed strongly over national issues, the state
issues--public school funding, internal improvements, the creation
of new counties--divided citizens along sectional rather than party
lines. Party leaders attempted to reconcile progressive western
interests and conservative eastern interests by accentuating
cohesive national issues. Jeffrey reveals factors that preserved
the vitality of the secondparty system in North Carolina even as
other states became politically stagnant. This vitality would shape
politics of the Old North State during the Civil War,
Reconstruction, and beyond. The upheaval of the Civil War
vindicated the policies of the Whigs, and although extinct outside
of the state, this party would lead North Carolina into the age of
the New South.
