Set forth in the Preamble of the Constitution of The American Legion, Americanism was a major reason for the creation of the American Legion: “For God and Country we associate ourselves together for the following purposes: ...to foster and perpetuate a one hundred per cent Americanism...” To that end, the Legion began many programs, including observing American Education Week, with essay and oratorical contests; also flag education, Junior Baseball, Tar Heel Boys’ State, and several others. The Junior All-American Baseball League, formed with the help of the National Amateur Athletic Federation, began in the spring of 1926. The Americanism Commission had been made responsible for Junior Baseball’s sectional, regional, and national series. Tar Heel Boys’ State is a summer camp for eligible boys to learn about democratic government and why America deserves its place as a world leader. This sub-series includes correspondence and general records for the Essay Contest, Junior Baseball, Oratorical Contest, Post Activity Reports, Publications, and Tar Heel Boys’ State.

This sub-series includes the correspondence and general records of the Child Welfare Committee. The Child Welfare Division was formed at the national level, and each state Department had a Child Welfare Committee. This committee was added to the North Carolina Department in February of 1924. The objectives of this committee include "enlisting public attention and awakening public conscience to Child Welfare needs; furnishing practical information about Child Welfare conditions, not only to the membership of The American Legion…but also to the citizens at large; temporarily providing material relief for children of Veterans of the World War when local resources are inadequate or are not immediately available." Note: This series contains one restricted folder.

As set down in the American Legion constitution, "Between Department Conventions, the administrative power shall be vested in the Department Executive Committee, which shall be composed of the Department Commander and vice-commanders in office, and of District Commanders. In the absence of the District Commander such vacancies shall be filled by the Alternate District Commander. Members of the Department Executive Committee shall be delegates to the Department Convention with vote, which vote shall be exercised with their respective Posts." These records consist primarily of correspondence of the committee. Also see the series Minutes for minutes from Executive Committee meetings.

One of the main activities of the Legion at its national conventions is the passage of legislative resolutions. Through its Legislative Committee, the Legion has transmitted these resolutions to the Congress of the United States, in an effort to change federal legislation on a variety of subjects. The legislative bureau in Washington was established in 1919. In the first year of its existence, the legislative committee secured a considerable program designed to better the condition of the disabled. Within just a few years, in addition to numerous minor legislative achievements the major accomplishments were: passage of the disabled emergency officers’ bill; $15,000,000 Rogers hospitalization bill, favorable amendments in the adjusted compensation legislation; legislation liberalizing compensation laws. The National Legislative Committee would advise each states’ Department Legislative Committee on legislation that should be changed at the state level. This sub-series includes correspondence and general records related to the work of the Legislative Committee.

Care of the disabled was a primary concern of the Legion from its creation. Immediately following the close of the first national convention in 1920, Commander Galbraith called a conference in Washington. Out of this conference came the Legion’s plan for reorganization of the various government bureaus dealing with veterans’ benefits into a single agency known as the U. S. Veterans’ Bureau, later called the Veterans Administration. As a part of the fight to obtain justice for the disabled veterans the Legion organized the National Rehabilitation Committee to aid claimants in securing adequate hospital care and proper adjudication of their compensation claims. The state departments of the Legion were soon encouraged to form Department Rehabilitation Committees to organize the work of aiding disabled veterans and their families at the state level. The records in this sub-series include general records and correspondence relating to claims, adjusted compensation, Penn State Bonus, the disabled, world war orphans, and the building of veterans hospitals in North Carolina.

[The Society of 40 Men and 8 Horses] (40 and 8). This was a group of Legionnaires that was dedicated to having fun.
