Carolina!

some pictures, you can print out the photographs in our Photo Gallery.
- 2. Is there a North Carolina State
Recipe? What is it?

state recipe. However, two great places to find recipes using traditional

3. Does the Secretary of State's
Office have an information packet for me to use for my school project?
Answer: No, unfortunately
we do not. However, you can probably find the answers to most of your questions
right here on our web page. If you haven't looked there yet, try our
Almanac.

4. Why does the North Carolina state flag look like it does?
Answer: The colors of the
state flag were chosen to match the colors of the United States flag. In the
U.S. flag, red stands for hardiness and courage, white is for purity
and innocence, and blue is vigilance and justice. The dates on the flag also
have a special meaning--May 20, 1775 was the date of the Mecklenburg Declaration
of Independence and April 12, 1776 was the date of the Halifax Resolves.
