A Brief History of Wilmington, North Carolina

The Patriotic activity of pre-Revolutionary Wilmington continued as the colonies moved to open revolt. The area was home to several notable Revolutionaries including: William Hooper; a signer of the Declaration of Independence; Cornelius Harnett, a member of the Continental Congress; and Robert Howe, a General of the Continental Army.

As grievances against the British piled up, these men and others established local Committees of Correspondence and Safety. These committees furthered the Patriot cause by organizing boycotts and other resistance, and maintaining contact with other centers of revolution in the colonies. On March 6, 1775 they drew up a paper for the people to sign pledging support to the Continental Congress. It was the first of several oaths Wilmingtonians would pledge to varying causes over the coming years.
