The Declaration of Independence by the Citizens of Mecklenburg County (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781175502179)

This historical document presents the text of "The Declaration of Independence by the Citizens of Mecklenburg County," a purported declaration made in 1775. The declaration's authenticity has been debated, but it remains a significant part of North Carolina history and lore. This version was published in 1831.

Whether viewed as a genuine precursor to the 1776 Declaration of Independence or a later fabrication, the Mecklenburg Declaration offers valuable insight into the sentiments and political climate of the American colonies leading up to the Revolutionary War. It serves as a reminder of the local initiatives and fervent desire for liberty that fueled the movement for independence.
