Project source, but it's not being used for any contentious claims, so I won't demand that it's replaced. Other than that, the only other note I see is that you could optionally add the info from Marks (2021) about the largest cotton oil mill if you haven't already. But again, the weather/climate is the only thing I'm waiting on before passing the review.
228:, very close to GA already, just a few things to look at and a few suggestions for more info to include. And I'll be honest: I've worked on several difficult reviews in the last few days, so I specifically sought out one with your name on it because I wanted to review an article that wouldn't need significant fixing.

Specific cite added. Page 4 says "Most of the McNair lands were tended by black tenant farmers, many of whom had migrated to the cotton fields of the
Carolina coastal plains after the boll weevil devastated crops in the Deep South. Between 1910 and 1925, North Carolina had the largest increase in

The collapsed content is purely PRIMARY raw data extras, used like one would use images. I would prefer extensive secondary source-based discussion in lieu of of long-term county demographic changes and presidential election swings, but such rarely seems to exist, and almost all US county articles
253:
Looking through, the review seems just about finished. The only significant thing to look at now is to see if more detail can be found about the weather/climate. The religion info looks good, it wouldn't hurt to include some basic statistics if you want to. I don't love the North
Carolina History

Scotland and several other counties don't quite have as much information which can be as neatly sorted as there. I think the other remaining subsections are reasonably appropriate, even if they are

There is rather little information specific to
Scotland. Cheraw is widely recognized as the group which historically resided in this region of NC. The Lumbee are of somewhat dubious origins and are recognized by the state but not entirely by the federal government (they are considered Native

Americans in the census and in federal records but get no benefits afford to most recognized groups, such as federal healthcare or sovereignty, etc.), so they have no reservation. Scotland is considered part of the jurisdiction of the Lumbee tribal organization, which is mentioned. -IB
852:(as with just about any Southern US county), with Presbyterian congregations founded specifically due to the Scottish ancestry in the area, but as for a proper discussion of religious affiliation, I have not found anything workable. The US Census does not ask religion questions. -IB

When Camp
Mackall and Laurinburg–Maxton Army Base are discussed, I assumed that the next sentences would be about both of them. It might help readability if "Laurinburg–Maxton" appears once more in the next sentence or two to make it clear that we're specifically focusing on that.
553:
I restructured the first sentence to make it easier to read for the average viewer. Though I think the other parentheses are more readable/distinguishable because they are linked separately from their parent route. Is there anything else you need help with? Have a great day!

There are a lot of one paragraph sections. Not much can be done for most of it, but see if there are any unnecessary headings. The law and government section probably doesn't need subheadings since the ideas are already divided by paragraph.
835:
The article mentions a relatively high population of
American Indians. Is there more information about which groups (currently Cheraw and Lumbee are mentioned)? Are there any Indian reservations in the county?
