Abstract:

North Carolina was the twelfth state to ratify the Federal Constitution on November 21, 1789. Ratification was a contentious issue in the state due to a well-organized Anti-Federalist movement which blocked ratification at the Hillsboro Convention on July 21, 1788. The article reviews the politics of the era and the mollification of Anti-Federalists between conventions.
