This historical narrative is an analysis of two social mobilization efforts by newly freed Black slaves and Southern Whites during the Reconstruction Era in North Carolina. The author used the political process theory to account for the political success and failure of both movements. During this short period, newly Freedmen mobilized to create schools for educating their children across the state. In response, fearful Whites created a countermovement based on fallacies that depicted educated newly Freedmen as violent individuals. Whereas both movements were successful in aligning their interests with federal and state governmental support, it was the countermovement of fearful Whites that succeeded for a longer period of time since they were able to elicit constant support from more entities than only the government.URL
