""The History of Taxation in North Carolina During the Colonial Period, 1663-1776"" offers a meticulous examination of the financial and economic structures that governed early North Carolina. Covering the century from the initial settlement under the Lords Proprietors to the dawn of the American Revolution, this scholarly work provides an in-depth analysis of how revenue was raised and managed within the colony. Coralie Parker investigates various forms of colonial revenue, including quit-rents, poll taxes, and duties on imported goods, while explaining the administrative machinery used to collect them.
By tracing the development of tax policy, the book illuminates the broader socio-political tensions that existed between the colonial assembly and the British authorities. It explores how fiscal disputes often served as a precursor to political unrest, highlighting the critical role of taxation in the lead-up to independence. This volume is an essential resource for students of American history and economics, offering valuable insights into the fiscal foundations of the Southern colonies and the economic origins of American self-governance.
