As the United States prepares to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution in 2026, this podcast explores North Carolina’s pivotal role in the nation’s founding — from the War of Regulation to the Battle of Guilford Courthouse and beyond.
This 10-episode series, hosted by John Locke Foundation CEO Donald Bryson, features guests with expertise on the American Revolution in North Carolina who answer questions such as: Is the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence real or just a myth? Who were the women of the Edenton Tea Party? And why did North Carolina take YEARS to sign the Constitution?
