Abstract:

During the Great Awakening in Britain and its colonies, George Whitefield had little success in North Carolina in spreading his doctrine. While Whitefield failed, the Separate Baptists from New England had greater success after 1755 led by Shubal Stearns and Daniel Marshall. Numerous Baptists joined the Separates who founded many churches before the American Revolution.

Abstract:

After the Church of England was established in North Carolina in 1715, there were several disobedient groups to its authority, including Quakers and Baptists. The Society for the Propagation of the Gospel (SPG) sent several missionaries to assist in evangelizing the colonies during this period. One such missionary, Reverend Michael Smith, preached in both South and North Carolina and was the center of several ignoble and dramatic tales.

A look at the contributions of North Carolina delegates William Hooper, Joseph Hewes, and Richard Caswell to the Continental Congress.
