North Carolina has the reputation of being a progressive Southern state. That reputation is somewhat accidental. There was no plantation or slave culture to speak of in North Carolina because the slavers could not dock any place along the Carolina coast. The state was also lucky in that it produced Governor D. Aycock around the turn of the century. Aycock was known as the "Education Governor" because he built the first widespread complex of public schools. It was lucky that alter Aycock, Frank P. Graham became the president of the University of North Carolina and established a tradition of liberalism on which the state still trades. In 1960, Terry Sanford won election as governor and completely revamped the outmoded school system.
