Margot and I married in 1977 and we have two children, Adam and Hannah, who both live in California. For many years I served as director of UNC's Center for the Study of the American South and edited its journal, Southern Cultures. My most recent book was Building the American Republic, Volume 1: A Narrative History to 1877 (University of Chicago Press, 2018).
