Help us honor the anniversary of North Carolina’s Halifax Resolves as we dive into the fascinating events that resulted in North Carolina being the first colony to move toward independence from England. Armstrong will introduce the resolves from a historical viewpoint; afterward, Evans will take a special behind-the-scenes look at archival items—including notations in the minute book of the 4th Provincial Congress that met in Halifax—related to the resolves that exist in the state’s archives.
