Summary

"In 1777 North Carolina farmers planned a coup against local patriots. Brendan McConville shows they were motivated not by Crown loyalty but by love of individual and religious liberty, as they understood them. Complicating revolutionary narratives, the plotters feared American independence would usher in the very tyranny it claimed to contest"--, Provided by publisher
