CHAPTER /.

CHAPTER /.
North Carolina was not at first q Royal Prov
ince, nor was the State colonized or settled by
those to whom was granted the proprietOrship.
Accident, ch~uce, circumstances, peopled this
region and as the original Aettlers were led, or
attracted, by different interests and motives, the
manners and characters Of the new people were
much diversified.
A colony Of English was planted in the north
eastern part Of the STATE ana 20 snese accessiOns
.are made by enisrants from New England and
Virginia Sir John Yeamsns leo body OF aa-
venturers from Barbados 70 the mouth Of the
Cape Fear and this became the nucleus of plant
ers and cavaliers Of wealth and distinction.
From these eastern ssts,snsats, hunters fusi-
tives from Justice hardy sessntursrs and austere
religionists, would struggle on in the boundless
woods to the west and thus there were scattered
over these upper regions occasional huts peopled
by tenants Of widely different manners and
morals.
In after times, company of MOravisns bought
large tract Of land, in what is now the county
of Forsythe; and their iourishing little towns of
Bethany, Salem, &c, became the centre of civil-
zaton and trade.
AS might be supposed, the people of North Car
olina grew up in ignorance Of the Mother Coun-
try, of her laws and institutions and their own
governors and rulers, chosen by distant courtiers,
who knew little Of their wants and interests, were
generally weak, corrupt, and despised These
petty tyrants, too, were often in league with the
pirates and buccaneers that swarmed on the coast
Of the Csrolinas for many years; and while &
knowledge of this shameful fact added to ne m
popularity of the Government, it enhanced the
RIGHTEOUSNESS of the people and justified them in
their riots and defiance of authority.
What is, therefore, called the Revolution, be-
gan in North Carolina at least half century
before the year 1876; and to those familiar with
the early history of this region the celebrated
Mecklenberg Manifesto seems remarkable only
from the fact that it is the act of only county
Riotous meetings and public declarations Of de-
fance of the laws were common from the earliest
times and when the Great Troubles with Eng
land began, there must have been many such
meetings az that of Mecklenberg held in the wild
woods, and never recorded in any of the Aewspa-
pers Of the times

CHAPTER III.


In thick forest, not far from Hsw river, stands
Hsw Fields Church or, as II Is generally called,
TIaw Fields Meeting house. II is venerable
edifce, standing on a site that has been conse-
Grated to religious purposes for more than hun
dred years. It has always belonged to the Pres
byterisps; but from the earliest history Of the
country, other denominations have been allowed
to worship there, and preachers of ether churches,
especially Of the Methodist and Baptist, to hold
meetings and administer the rites and ordinances
Of their societies.
Originally the church was mere frame,
weather-bosrded, but not celed and In fair
weather the congregation sat out Of doors, and the
minister held forth from platform erected against
gigantic poplar.
In the spring OF the year 1870, notices were
posted through the neighborhoOd Of the Hsw
Fields stating that on the third Sunday In April
minister from the up-country would preach TO
the people, or explain 10 them certain prophecies
that were then absorbing good deal Of public
attention. The prophecies alluded to were the
predictions Of modern divine concerning the
destruction Of q portion Of the world predictions
that were strongly urged In an eloquent pamph-
let, which declared that on certain day OF the
next year one third of the earth would be carried
away by convulsions. II was not stated what part
would be thus destroyed; but many believed, aud
the uncertainty as TO the part to be whelmed In
ruin added to the terrors Of the people.
or course, therefore, on the day appointed, an
immense congregation assembled at the Haw
Fields Church and early in the day trumpet
announced 10 them the hour for worship. When
the company had gathered about the stand, or
pulpit their curious eyes were directed to its oo-
cupant; and there was general surprise at the
appearance and dress OF the minister.

CHAPTER II.

Just one hundred years before the Declaration
Of American Independence, the inhabitants of
Albemarle in North Carolina rose, as Bancroft
says, "against the pretensions Of the proprieta-
ries and the laws of navigation p and, continues
the historian alluded to, the uneducated popu-
lation of that day formed conclusions as just as
those which, . century later, psrvaded the cOun-
tryn
The commerce of the country was mostly in
the hands of New England traders, who bought
the produce of the farmers, and brought to their
doors such articles as they wished to purchase in
rctura Ia orp~r words. - Yaua<vxs pvaisrS was
then, "a now, an important character and familiar
to all the inhabitants Of Carolisa. One object
of the laws alluded to by Bancroft was to divert
the trade Of the country into different channels
and this attempted restraint upon the free course
Of commerce was resisted by the people. The
resistance amounted to revolution o Governor
was deposed, laws abrogated, and new rulers sp-
pointed and new regulations formed for the pub
lie welfare. In the course Of time, however, the
republicans were subdued still disaffection con-
tinued for many years. and the effects Of the
Rebellion were never entirely obliterated.
Feuds and anmosities prevailed for half centu-
ry, and in the mean time many Of the leaders of
"the Opposition becoming compromised by their
liberal doctrines, or disguised with the course Of
things, plunged into the interminable woods to
the westward, and in the solitude Of those vast
forests sought freedom and safety. Some Of them
settled within the nominal bounds of the county
of Orange which was then as large as the State
| of Maryland but as they were scattered sparsely
through the woods, they were hardly recognised
as citizens by the public authorities and were, in
almost all things, "a law unto themselves" Their
children grew up independent In every respect,
and from their infancy imbibed the most bitter
prejudices against officials of every grade. Offices
and tyranny were with them synonymous terms;
and such conclusions in the then misgoverned
state of things, were not extravagant or absurd
Many of these people were persons Of property
and education; and, simple in their habits, stern
in their principles, and devotional In their feel
ings, they formed population as different from
all classes Of civilized men in this age as IT 10
possible to conceive.
