Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the transformation of governance in North Carolina from a proprietary to a representative body. The author explores the events and motivations behind the creation of a Commonwealth government, shining a light on how democratic ideals spread in southern colonies and challenging the notion that they only existed in New England. Competing wills and political savvy are on full display, from confrontations with the Crown over taxation, to conflicts regarding boundary lines, all amidst a backdrop of financial distress and social unrest. The book draws heavily upon primary sources such as colonial records and letters, shedding light on the motivations of pivotal figures such as Governor Tryon and Josiah Martin. The author's insights add depth to our understanding of the American Revolution, revealing the deep-seated desire for self-governance that existed in the years leading up to the break with Great Britain.
