Abstract:

This article discusses North Carolina history relating to the Revolutionary War that the author feels has been overlooked by historians, including Governor Burke's orders to mobilize the North Carolina militia to preemptively cut off the escape route of General Cornwallis from Yorktown and the efforts and deeds of the North Carolina militia in military engagements throughout the North Carolina and South Carolina.
