Primary Sources: who was registered to vote in Greene County, NC in 1878?

October 15, 2021 by Leave a comment

This is one in a series of posts elevating primary, historical sources.

In 1878, there were 2,071 people (all men) registered to vote in Greene County, NC. 1,045 of them were listed as “Colored” and 1,026 were listed as “White.” The vote counts for North Carolina Supreme Court contests are listed on this page as well, and more than 85% of the registered voters are recorded as having voted. On March 4, 1876, the Greene County, NC courthouse burned, so similar information from prior to 1878 is not available.
