The Mecklenburg convention was
called for May 10. Its original pur-
pose was to pronounce the annulment
OF all laws and commissions in conse-
quence of the kings address of Feb
fuary declaring the colonies in a state
Oh rebellion; and to make provision
Tor temporary form of government
until instructions from the provincial
congress regulating the jurisprudence
OF the province shall provide other
wise, or the legislative body of Great
Britain resigns its unjust and arbi-
trary pretensions with respect to
/ America" In this expectation an
elaborate set of resolutions had been
prepared
Discussion of these resolutions was
interrupted by the arrival of a cour-
Ter with the news of Lexington. The
convention reasSembled in a fury OF
patriotism. 1t seethed and debated
until well into the morning of May 20,
when the quoted paragraphs were
adopted as a preliminary to the regu-
Tar business of the convention. 1t
must be admitted that the Mecklen-
| burgers did a good job. They organ
ized provisional central government.
They sequestered all public and coun-
ty taxes and all quit rents to the crown
and declared traitors all persons who
should accept new commissions from
| the crown or exercise old commissions.
And they formed nine military COM
panies for action-when the time
should come.
Curiously enough, this Mecklenburg
Declaration did not become generally
known till 1919, forty-four years later,
and then through publication in the
Raleigh Register. Its publication
caused an enormous stir, and began a
controversy that may be said to be
yet going on, inasmuch as some his
rorlans still refuse to accept the genu-
ineness of the document. In 1919 JEFF.
ferson and John Adams were both old
and testy. Adams said, in so many
words, that Jefferson evidently had
piagiarized. jefferson angrily retort.
ed that in his belief the document was
spurious.
The controversy over the genuine
ness of the Mecklenburg Declaration
Immediately became fast and furims
North Carolina finally took hand in
It, and in 1881 its legislature an
pointed a committee of Investigation
Ihis committee reported that the doc
ument was genuine. Accordingly. Nav
