Session Laws Passed by the North Carolina General Assembly During 1866/67-1967 (XML format) version 1

This corpus was created for a text analysis project called On the Books: Jim Crow and Algorithms of Resistance. On the Books focused specifically on the laws passed during the Jim Crow Era, which is defined for this project as the period between Reconstruction and the Civil Rights Movement (1866-1967). In addition to creating the corpus, the project also used machine learning to identify discoverable North Carolina segregation statutes during the Jim Crow era. This dataset contains 96 XML files, one for each volume in the corpus. Included in the XML metadata is an indication of whether or not each law was identified as likely to be a Jim Crow law.
