- Migration into and out of North Carolina: Exploring census data
- In North Carolina in the New Nation, page 4.2
- Just how many people left North Carolina in the first half of the nineteenth century -- and where did they go? To answer questions like this, the best place to turn is census records. The census can't tell us why people moved, but a look at the numbers can give us a sense of the scale of the migration.
