Abstract:

Counties of the 2nd Congressional District played an important role in the early days of the nation; for example, the Halifax Resolves were signed there; William R. Davie of Halifax, father of the University of North Carolina, served in the Continental Army; and Nathaniel Macon, of Warren County, was a Revolutionary War soldier, becoming the district's representative in 1791.
