Abstract:

The Halifax Resolves were adopted by North Carolina’s Fourth Provincial Congress in session at Halifax on April 12, 1776. Three months later in Philadelphia, the Continental Congress incorporated many of its ideas into the new nation’s Declaration of Independence. The birthplace of the first official State action for independence, Halifax continues to preserve much of its 18th century history.
