North Carolina’s automobile license plate slogan “First in Freedom” has stirred controversy, but may be valid. According to historian Dr. Hugh T. Lefler of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, North Carolina’s role in the freedom movement is marked by four major events during the Revolutionary period, each of which was instrumental in moving the state and nation toward independence. These events include the First Provincial Congress in New Bern, the Mecklenburg Resolves, the Battle at Moore’s Creek, and the Halifax Resolves.
