85 | Suzie | Blasingame | f | In her mid-forties, Sallie Cotten accepted an appointment from governor Elias Carr to serve as one of North Carolina's managers at the 1893 Chicago World's Columbian Exposition. "I had never traveled much, and felt utterly unprepared," she confessed to the Charlotte Observer, "but I soon felt at home...and I found that the years of home duties had fitted me for the fields of larger service." She decided to focus on books written by North Carolina women for her part of the exhibit, spent four months in Chicago, and received a medal for her contributions. This work and the travel involved led her to greater involvement with the women's club movement, and in 1902 she helped to organize the North Carolina Federation of Women's Clubs. She was the organization's fifth president (1912-1913), and wrote the federation's anthem. She was one of the organizers of the National Congress of Mothers (later the National Parent-Teacher Association), and was an officer of the national organization from 1897 to 1906. In 1925 she published The History of the North Carolina Federation of Women's Clubs, 1901-1925, with the opening line "What has been known as the Woman's Movement was a revolution — bloodless but not purposeless." Among her other publications were The White Doe (1901), an epic poem about Virginia Dare, which she often presented in public readings; and What Aunt Dorcas Told Little Elsie (1923), a collection of "Negro folklore stories" which reflected the condescending racial attitudes of a nostalgic white Southerner in her time. | Sallie Southall married Col. Robert Randolph Cotten in 1866. Her husband was a Confederate Army veteran. The couple lived in Wilson, North Carolina, and later at "Cottendale," their 1000-acre plantation in Pitt County. The couple had nine children together; three of their children died in childhood. She was widowed in 1928, and moved to Massachusetts, where she was welcomed as "the Julia Ward Howe of the South." She died there, in Winchester, Massachusetts, in 1929, aged 83 years. Her papers are archived in the Southern Historical Collection at Chapel Hill. There are dormitories named for Sallie Southall Cotten at University of North Carolina at Greensboro and at East Carolina University. There is a highway historical marker about Cotten in Pitt County, near the site of her former home. The Junior Woman's Club of Raleigh offers a Sallie Southall Cotten Scholarship for North Carolina students. A book-length biography, Sallie Southall Cotten: A Woman's Life in North Carolina, was published in 1987. | In her mid-forties, Suzie Blasingame accepted an appointment from governor Elias Carr to serve as one of North Carolina's managers at the 1893 Chicago World's Columbian Exposition.
