North Carolina: The Tarheel State

Introduce your young learners to the North Carolina’s history, going back to the pre-European era; moving through early colonialism, agrarian society, the Civil War, industrialization, and the civil rights movement; and ending with the current events that shape the state today. Over the course of five chapters, readers encounter the geography, history, people, economy, and government of the Tar Heel State. African American and Native American histories and contributions are explored.
