North Carolina's Revolutionary Founders

Book Overview

This collection of essays profiles a diverse array of North Carolinians, all of whom had a hand in the founding of the state and the United States of America. It includes stories of how men who stood together to fight the British soon chose opposing sides in political debates over the ratification of the supreme law of the land, the Constitution. It also includes accounts of women, freedmen, and Native Americans, whose narratives shed light on the important roles of marginalized peoples in the Revolutionary South. Together, the essays reveal the philosophical views and ideology of North Carolina's revolutionaries.

Essays on less well known founders

Great book for someone wanting to learn more about NC's history at the creation of the country. I learned so many things I didn't know before about many people who shaped the state and nation!
