This week, a lecture about disability in early America.

Professor Laurel Dane of North Carolina University discusses how disability was defined

after the American Revolution.

People with intellectual, as well as physical incapacities actually as well, were all placed,

under guardianship.

And not all of them, but some, some were placed under guardianship if their family members or other community members requested it.

So this act is from North Carolina in 1836. Those described as lunatics or idiots were assigned legal guardians who manage their legal political

financial affairs.

More on how federal laws impacted disabled people after this.
