Welcome To North Carolina History!

Thanks so much for all of your help with the Veterans Day project! I took seven BIG boxes of items to Greenville, North Carolina on Saturday morning. Give To The Troops was extremely thankful for the donation. Hopefully, we have made the holidays a little bit easier for some of our troops stationed overseas! We will wrap up the Revolutionary War this week, and will start to study the post-revolutionary war period in North Carolina. We'll be moving quickly so that we can finish chapter six before Thanksgiving! I'll try to update before thanksgiving- but I have included the schedule for next week and for the two days before Thanksgiving!
