why did jane not leave north carolina with william? especially when it seemed that she would be debt ridden and without property if she stayed in north carolina. especially if she knew, and she must have known, that the british were compensating displaced loyalists with land rents and other perks in canada and elsewhere. why did not she leave with him? or, why did jane not ask the legislature to allow william to return to north carolina after the war? many wives successfully sought repatriation for their exiled tory spouses. many exiled men kind of quietly returned home, kind of snuck back without official permission and reconciled with their own communities. that didn't happen in this case. i would like to think that my girl jane, that her travails may have come with certain opportunities that neither she nor her contemporaries openly acknowledged. here's the punchline to my story. i can't prove it. william goes to canada, where he did receive more than 1000 acres from the british colonial government. but he didn't go alone. ooooh.

favor of keeping the monuments where they are. >> those monuments mean everything to me. >> a north carolina law restricts moving monuments saying they can only be relocated to places of similar prominence. according to a 2017 poll, 59% of north carolinians believe the monuments should remain where they are. 29% want them taken down. >> to me, moving the monuments is simply a correction of the telling of history and creating a capital ground so it's more welcoming. >> are you sympathetic to those that are deeply offended, who see the symbolism in a different way than you do? >> when i hear people say that, i ask them let's go sit down over a cup of coffee and let's discuss this. i love to understand someone else's history. i want them to understand mine. >> so here we are in 2018 in the new south. can we ever move past this emotional controversy? >> i think we can. i hope we can. i believe the monuments will come down eventually. >> ed, will we ever get past this? >> i think we are beginning get past it and we're a long way past it. >> there has to be people who have a clear vision like john

how does north carolina stack up compared to the rest of the country?he nation for average teacher pay. below the national average of $58.950. despite some salary increases in recent years, when adjusted for inflation, north carolina teachers have lost 9.4 % in pay since 2009. when it comes to statewide education funding, north carolina ranks 43rd in the nation for spending per people. it's important to keep in mind when we're discussing teacher walkou walkouts, 90% of meshes aameric enrolled in public schools every year. this affects the vast majority of children. children are too young to vote. but they are, of course, our future. i am joined now by katie beck live on the scene in raleigh. katie, the feeling on the ground must be passionate. when we hear that their pay is actually down, i think it's not just the teachers who are currently employed. what young people are going to choose education as a profession if it's a job that means you can't even support yourself? >> well, that's a huge problem for educators here, the pipeline. they are worried ab

foxx of north carolina. the chair: the gentlewoman from north carolina and a member opposed each will control 10 minutes. the chair recognizes the gentlewoman from north carolina. ms. foxx: thank you, mr. speaker. mr. speaker, i commend my colleague, mike conaway, and the other members of the agriculture committee for their work on the farm bill. i have every intention of voting for the bill and have stated that on many occasions. having been working on a re-authorization of a major bill recently, i can certainly sympathize with the effort here and say that overall this bill is an improvement on past farm bills because it responds to the desperate need of work requirements for able-bodied people. however, there's another piece of this bill that's been around for a long time. 85 years. that is not corrected. it is decidedly bad policy and it is long overdue to be corrected. and our amendment does that. but this amendment is not new. in fact, this body has debated it in every farm bill for over a generation. t

there is no such thing as a writer from asheville, north carolina.t is certainly not real work, writing. he's is in a quandary the summer he graduates. it is time for him to go to work. his mother saw him in agony that summer. she said, if it is that important to you, i'm going to let you try harvard. julia wolfe gave thomas the money. he went north alone for the first time in his life. this is the second story of the old kentucky home. you will find that there are multiple bedrooms here. she pressed the house out towards the sides and back to add multiple bedrooms. thomas wolf wrote about it dark at the frontkroom of this house with the ugly victorian bay window in it. this is the room where thomas died inavorite brother october of 1918. thomas will have a special bond ben.his brother, he was the one who had practically raised him. he was eight years older and would come in the morning and dress thomas for school, protect them from belize. julia is so busy she does not realize where little tom is for days on end. when she forgets tom, he doesn't he.

he was born -- [laughter] right on the north carolina/south carolina border. both states have claimed him at various times. polk's family moved to tennessee when he was 11, but he returned to north carolina to attend the university of chapel hill. graduated with first honors in mathematics and the classics. then he went back to tennessee and became a lawyer and politician. he was so closely allied with andrew jackson that he was called young hickory. this was a huge advantage because no one knew, first of all, when he ran in 1844 who polk was. but because jackson was the most popular president of his era, being associated with him was a great thing. in 1844, polk had become the first dark horse presidential nominee. kind of emerged from the democratic convention in baltimore. as a compromise candidate to hold the party together, he pledged to serve one term, and he stuck to his pledge. polk once wrote in his diary that he's the hardest-working man in america, and if he wasn't that, he's certainly the hardest working american president. his every waking hour si
