 North Carolina was the first of the colonies to have an English settlement, the first to shed blood in the war for independence, and the first to give ut terance in explicit form to that inde- pendence. Nor was the declaration of the people of Mecklenburg the sole manifestation of the sentiment in the matter. At Fayetteville, on Cape Fear river below Southern Pines, another Declaration of Independence ante dated that of Philadelphia. The peo- pie in Cumberland county, of which Fayetteville is the capital, issued their statement in June of 1775, insisting that resort to arms was justified, and pledging each other to sacrifice life and fortune to the freedom and safety of an oppressed people.
