Abstract:

This article examines the role the colony of North Carolina had in the Seven Years' War. The colony legislature was not very helpful, providing only small amounts of money and 300 soldiers to help defend Fort Duquesne from a French assault in 1757. Militia from western North Carolina was involved in fending of Indian attacks in the western part of the state between 1760 and 1761.
