I was in Seagrove last week. It is a beautiful rural area. We bought some lovely pottery, had a great time.

In the 19th and early 20th Century the potters of that area sustained their families by farming and making utilitarian pottery items. This was how they achieved the American dream--by using their own initiative and creativity to support themselves, without any help (or interferencee) by government. They built churches and schools, educated their children in the ways of independence and trust in God, and had a rough, but free, way of life.

Their descendants, as well as others who have moved into the area, have sustained and revived the tradition, and they are contributing to the economy of the entire area.

By the way, check out the historical work mentioned in my previous post. Coincidentally, your "lovely pottery" and this volume on liberty were created in the same area you visited.
